Together we are developing Sahlgrenska University Hospital for a sustainable future. We are transforming healthcare with the goal of becoming Europe's leading university hospital by 2032. Together with patients, we work for quality, accessibility, patient safety, research, education, and innovation – in a cohesive healthcare system in the Västra Götaland region. Our vision and goals aim for care of the highest quality, where the patient is always in focus. We provide healthcare locally and regionally, but also highly specialized care to patients across the country and abroad. Our employees are our strength and contribute to knowledge exchange nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new working methods, we can simplify everyday life at the hospital and offer modern, accessible, and efficient care of the highest quality.

About Us

The Psychiatric Emergency Department is located in the psychiatry building at Östra Hospital. The Psychiatric Emergency Department receives patients from Gothenburg and surrounding municipalities who have acute psychiatric issues, where approximately one-third of the applicants require psychiatric inpatient care. We have a work environment characterized by great variation, high work pace, collegial community, and good collaboration. In the operation, there are four medical secretaries working scheduled; during the day, one evening a week, and every fourth weekend during the day.

The work mainly consists of journal documentation, printing letters and referrals, patient administrative work in ELVIS, some telephone service, and other administrative tasks based on the needs of the operation. We document in Melior and via digital dictation.
