Do you want to work with world-class burn care while also working in a department that excels in digital development?

Then this could be the job for you! The Burn Center offers you the opportunity to develop your skills in burn care while being part of a digital development that benefits your work environment and patient safety.

Our Operations

Welcome to Sweden's hottest workplace, the Burn Center in Uppsala! Just below the helicopter pad, we operate one of the country's two units providing nationally specialized care for burns. Here, we work in multidisciplinary teams, always with the patient in focus. We care for burn patients from the acute phase, requiring advanced intensive care, to intermediate care and finally rehabilitation before the patient is discharged. This provides continuity in care and close contact with patients and their families. The department has an operating room where our patients are operated on. Our operations are complemented by a clinic where we receive minor injuries and care for patients who have been discharged from the department.

Personal development as well as operational development is a given for you, and you actively work with this in your professional practice.
