JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Patients coming to the emergency department are adults of all ages, with different backgrounds and medical conditions. In surgery and orthopedics, we also receive children, which adds further variety to the work. In the emergency department, your role is central in meeting the patients. Here, priorities may need to be made immediately, and we truly make a difference for people when every second counts. The variation of patients and pace means that we often need to prioritize and adapt to new conditions.

Here, checks, assessments, and actions needed during the patient's care time are performed. We also collaborate with other departments and wards within the hospital.

We are proud of our employees and strive for continuous professional development. With us, you can receive:

• AMLS, Advanced Medical Life Support, to identify, address, and manage acutely ill patients.
• ATSS, Acute Trauma Care for Nurses, focusing on the management during the first hour after trauma.
• A-HLR, advanced training for S-HLR.
• X-ray training that includes extended knowledge regarding the examination of extremities to independently write X-ray referrals in case of suspected fractures.

As a new employee in our emergency department, you will receive a solid individualized introduction and a mentor. If you are newly employed in Region Kronoberg, you will also receive a regional introduction. For additional variation and professional development, there is the opportunity for joint service in the acute care department.
