Our Operations

The emergency care department constitutes a central and extensive part of healthcare. Our operational area consists of two sections; emergency care and ambulance care. The emergency care section consists of the emergency department. Our goal is to provide good, appropriate, high-quality, specialist-driven emergency care for all patients, regardless of the reason for seeking care. We strive to be a health-promoting workplace with good leadership and flexible working methods, and therefore continuously work with education and development. With us, you have close access to specialist knowledge, research, education, and about 40 engaged emergency physician colleagues.

Our University Hospital is a level 1 trauma center. The adult emergency department sees approximately 52,000 patients annually, with a lower age limit of 15 years, but is also responsible for younger children with potentially life-threatening conditions.

Within the operational area, we conduct research, basic and specialist training for nurses and doctors at all stages of their careers. We engage in multiprofessional and innovative development with national and international partners, as well as quality and patient safety work focused on proactive operational development. We are now connected to the Swedish Emergency Care Registry (SVAR) and have a strong focus on competence development within Point-of-Care Ultrasound.
