The Psychiatry Ambulance is Expanding Its Prehospital Mission

We are looking for specialist nurses interested in prehospital emergency care, psychiatric emergency care, and development.

Our Operations

The Psychiatry Ambulance PAM is dispatched via 112 and operates from SvLc and the ambulance station, covering the entire Region Uppsala.

Patients arrive at the adult psychiatry emergency department through self-referral/visits or with police, ambulance, correctional services, and other healthcare providers.

PAVA is an acute care unit with 12 beds where patients are treated in the acute phase for an average of 1 - 3 days.

Your Mission

As a specialist nurse, you will be responsible, together with other specialist nurses, for leading and developing psychiatric care both at the patient level and at the unit level. With us, you will rotate through three different units: PAM, the emergency department, and the inpatient care unit, which means varied and developing tasks.

The leading specialist nurse in the psychiatry ambulance PAM is medically responsible, performing emergency psychiatric assessments that require immediate action where the patient is located. You will work in a team with an experienced caregiver, contributing to creating safety for the patient and relatives while providing professional and qualified care in various environments. Many of the assignments involve close collaboration with other healthcare providers as well as police, ambulance, and rescue services to ensure that the patient's needs are met.

The leading specialist nurse in the emergency department has overall responsibility for the emergency department and the emergency room. Together with nursing staff and doctors, you will provide good and safe emergency care. You will monitor patient flow, perform an initial emergency assessment and triage of patients, and carry out immediate nursing actions.

The leading specialist nurse in PAVA has overall responsibility for providing good and safe care. The care for patients is person-centered and evidence-based, conducted in collaboration with other professionals. We work in teams, and you will be responsible for approximately 6 patients together with caregivers, collaborating with the other team on the unit for a shared overall responsibility for the patients.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse with specialist training in psychiatric care, possess personal maturity, and want to work with people in vulnerable situations. You have the ability to understand people, instill safety and calm in critical situations. You build trust with patients and relatives and establish a professional relationship. You have the ability to adapt to changing pace, make accurate emergency assessments, prioritize, and feel secure in your professional role. You should be able to work both independently and in a team, lead work, and communicate clearly with colleagues and other professionals.

To ensure care quality, we actively work to develop a good and attractive work environment for nurses. This means that we value and protect the nurse's autonomous professional practice and have high nursing competence.

Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability. A B driver's license is a requirement.
