Nurse for Medical and Geriatric Clinic in Skellefteå

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

Within the health and medical care administration, primary care, dental care, and hospital care are gathered in a common administration and organized into regional and local healthcare areas. The local healthcare area of Skellefteå includes the Emergency Department, Medical and Geriatric Clinic, Rehabilitation Center, Psychiatric Clinic, 1177, and primary care in Skellefteå and Norsjö. Together, these aim to provide good and close care.

The Medical and Geriatric Clinic is part of the local healthcare area of Skellefteå and is one of the largest clinics at Skellefteå Hospital with approximately 300 employees. The operations consist of both outpatient and inpatient care with a wide range and many different specialties. The clinic's beds are distributed based on medical and geriatric orientations. The majority of admissions are acute and occur via the emergency department. The outpatient operations consist of medicine, geriatrics, and dialysis clinics. Within the medicine clinic, there are also day care services and a physiological laboratory. The clinic also has a Research Unit, which is unique for a regional hospital.

We are now looking for a nurse with a combination of dialysis clinic (75%) and gastro clinic (25%). The dialysis clinic in Skellefteå has 17 treatment places, of which 3 are part of the self-dialysis concept where the patient, with the support of staff, learns to manage their own treatment. There is also a kidney clinic within the operations. At the dialysis unit, nurses, nursing assistants, and doctors work together. There is also close collaboration with colleagues in medical technology. The gastro clinic currently employs a total of 2 nurses, working in a team with doctors.
