Physiotherapist at Region Västerbotten

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and ensure that research and innovation yield results.

The region's primary care provides broad primary care services throughout Region Västerbotten, meeting patients of all ages, both in urban and rural areas. With 33 health centers and medical clinics, we are where you are. We offer research and development and utilize medical results to provide high-quality care where the patient is involved. We want our employees to be engaged, have influence, and feel proud to work in the region's primary care. Here you have the opportunity for a job where you can balance an interesting and developing work life with a rich offering of outdoor activities, both summer and winter.

The medical clinics are part of the southern Lapland primary care area, which is a model area in the transition to close care. With effective collaboration and a focus on the citizen, we drive important changes within the region and together with the municipality. Clinical assessment at a distance and digital healthcare meetings are developing rapidly and are an important part of ensuring good, close, and accessible care in this area. Therefore, it is no coincidence that we are at the forefront in this area. The medical clinic model, which is an important starting point for close care, shapes both the approach and working methods in the daily operations.

Vilhelmina, Åsele, and Dorotea medical clinics are part of the same base unit and are located in southern Lapland, fifty kilometers apart. The nearest hospital is in Lycksele, where the county's ambulance helicopter is stationed.

Our medical clinics function as well-equipped mini-hospitals with access to emergency care beds, X-ray, ambulance services, and laboratories. Our telemedicine usage is well developed. Here you will find occupational therapists, midwives, physiotherapists, social workers, doctors, psychologists, secretaries, nurses, and nursing assistants. We provide emergency medical care as well as routine work at health centers and have a well-developed collaboration among all our professional groups and with the municipalities.
