Our Operations

The emergency department plays a central role in the operations of the hospital and is open around the clock. We staff a call line for primary emergency surgery/urology/orthopedics, and during the day, there is also a surgical and orthopedic backup on site. During on-call hours, the surgical backup takes over responsibility. We receive patients of all ages with various diagnoses. Our area of operations also includes a care ward where we primarily care for orthopedic patients after prosthetic surgery, but also some surgical and urology patients. Our clinics and surgical operations have an elective profile. Together with our partner, Akademiska sjukhuset in Uppsala, our mission is to ensure the region's care at various levels.

Your Mission

We are now looking for someone who wants to work daytime as a specialist physician in the Emergency Department to strengthen competence and leadership, alternating with ward responsibility on different weeks. You will hold a clinical role and have leadership responsibility for patient flow together with junior doctors, resident doctors, and the responsible nurse whom you assist in decision-making. You will guide, support, and contribute to a smooth and short care process for patients. On-call work occurs to a lesser extent as primary on-call. The work is independent but is done in consultation with the backup. In the ward, we expect you to continuously and actively take responsibility for patient safety work and development in consultation with section managers and the ward manager. Here, you will have the opportunity to focus on leadership and development work while ensuring that patient care remains the priority.

Your Qualifications

You find it easy to collaborate and enjoy creating engagement and participation. You continuously update your knowledge.
