Our Operations

Eriksberg Health Center is located at Västertorg in the Eriksberg district of Uppsala. We have about 7200 registered patients and approximately 30 employees. We offer most services within primary care, and everyone at the health center works to provide our patients with the best possible care. The wide variation from families with children to elderly patients creates a stimulating and developing workplace.

This position is clinical and does not currently include any research assignments, but as an academic health center, research and education are close to our hearts. An academic health center means, in addition to the regular health center assignment, that we have been tasked with linking clinical research, development, and education with everyday life at the health centers.
