Primary Care MLA

Meliva is looking for a Primary Care MLA who wants to help shape the future of primary care. In this role, you will combine clinical experience, system understanding, and leadership to strengthen our medical quality and patient safety in over 25 health centers. We are looking for someone who is a trustworthy, curious, and relationship-building force – a person who creates security in everyday life and direction in development.

This is the role for you if you want to contribute to a modern, learning, and cohesive primary care where medical responsibility, quality, and improvement work are at the center.

The Role

The assignment as Medical Management Responsible for Primary Care aims to strengthen Meliva's medical quality work at regional and local levels.

• Be an advisor in complex patient cases and special investigations.
• Build strong relationships between units, regional management, and the profession.

Medical Coordination and Quality Development

• Lead the Primary Care Medical Council and contribute to uniform guidelines.
• Follow up on medical quality (Medrave, deviations, complaints) and develop action plans.
• Drive improvement work and spread effective routines and working methods.
• Initiate and coordinate patient safety work.

Strategic Support and Development

• Participate in primary care management and contribute with a medical perspective in strategic decisions.
• Support regional managers with relevant medical interventions.
• Participate in the work with ST education, competence development, and innovation initiatives.

• Explore and implement new forms of care and digital working methods.

Culture and Professional Pride

• Be a role model within the profession.

Your Profile

You are a confident and experienced physician who combines clinical competence with system thinking. You move effortlessly between the concrete medical issues of everyday life and strategic discussions in primary care management. You are an advisor, a demand maker, and a culture bearer in one – and you thrive in a role where quality, patient safety, and development are central.

Personal Qualities and Working Methods

• Analytical and structured, with the ability to interpret medical quality data (Medrave, deviations, IVO cases) and translate them into relevant actions.
• Relationship-building and communicative, used to creating security in medical issues and leading forums where the profession gathers.
• Development-oriented and action-oriented, with the ability to drive change without losing direction or a holistic perspective.
• Pedagogical and inclusive, with a good ability to coach, guide, and contribute to learning between units.
• System thinker, with an understanding of how medical quality, economy, competence supply, and patient safety are interconnected in primary care.

Competence Profile

• Specialist in general medicine with many years of experience in primary care.
• Experience in medical management work (MLA, operational management, or patient safety/quality work).
• Good ability to work data-driven, analyze quality results, and lead improvement initiatives.
• Strong communication skills in speech and writing.

What Distinguishes You in the Role

• You build bridges between operations managers, local MLAs, regional managers, and the profession.
• You ensure that medical perspectives carry the right weight in management discussions and strategic decisions.
• You create structure, follow-up, and engagement in medical quality work.
• You think modern and future-oriented, but with a solid foundation in evidence and patient safety.
