Job Description

At the surgical reception, nurses, nursing assistants, administrative staff, and doctors work within the various sections. As a nurse/stoma therapist, you have your own reception for patients who are to receive or have received a stoma. You also meet patients with complicated wound dressings and enterocutaneous fistulas. The patient group is varied in terms of both age and diagnosis. In your work, you have a lot of contact with patients both by phone and during physical visits to the reception.

In addition to reception work, consultations are made in the departments throughout the hospital regarding stomas and certain wounds, and you also have an advisory function towards home care, health centers, and home care/special housing. The stoma reception also conducts training on stoma and certain wound care in departments and in nursing education.
