Our Operations

AVA is one of Akademiska sjukhuset's largest wards with 30 beds, and here you will be part of a close-knit team consisting of nurses, nursing assistants, doctors, pharmacists, and other important health professionals, all committed to delivering care of the highest quality. We also have special functions such as discharge nurses and educational nurses, which provide you as an employee with optimal conditions to perform your tasks with high quality. Our success is based on our collective experience and the diversity of ideas and solutions, and we prioritize the working environment of our employees.

At AVA, we primarily care for patients with internal medicine diagnoses. Patients with chest pain, arrhythmias, heart failure, infections, diabetes, pulmonary embolisms, and venous thrombosis come to us. Many of our patients are multi-sick and require extensive care efforts. The length of stay is relatively short, which means a high turnover of patients that must be planned and coordinated. The high flow places high demands on flexibility, initiative, decisiveness, and good teamwork.

We value that you as a nurse have the opportunity to be challenged and develop in your role, which is why we invest in continuous education and individual competence development. We strive to create a present and coaching leadership with the goal of making you feel secure, welcomed, and happy in your new work environment. With us, you will receive comprehensive orientation to quickly get into the work, along with regular follow-ups with your immediate manager to support your development. Additionally, you have the opportunity for four study days per year, giving you time and space to deepen your knowledge and competencies.

Our operations are based on the values in the Fundamentals of Care, where the patient is always at the center, and the patient is involved in their care, which permeates our daily work at AVA. For us, YOU are important.
