New Nurse at Surgical Ward 2

The hospitals in the west are an administration within the Västra Götaland region and consist of four hospitals – Alingsås Hospital, Angered Local Hospital, Högsbo Local Hospital, and Kungälv Hospital. Approximately 3000 employees work with us every day to provide good and safe specialist healthcare of the highest quality.

About Surgical Ward 2

Surgical Ward 2 is a general surgical care unit that is part of the Surgery and Orthopedics Department.

In 2020, we moved into one of Sweden's most modern care unit buildings. The new ward has 28 single rooms designed so that each team of nurses, nursing assistants, paramedics, and doctors has a good working environment with modern technology that provides excellent conditions for delivering safe, patient-centered care together with patients and relatives.

We primarily investigate and treat patients with acute surgical diseases in the abdomen and gastrointestinal tract, traumatic surgical injuries, and urological issues. We receive both acutely ill patients, patients coming for planned surgery, and patients needing palliative care.

We work in teams that collaborate closely with various healthcare professionals, and the ward has specialist knowledge in palliative care and a mentor nurse available. We have a close collaboration with pain teams, mobile palliative teams, dietitians, and local healthcare teams.
