We offer a five-week introduction with a personal mentor and an introduction program on the ward where we focus on surgical nursing.

The surgical area has a close collaboration between the three hospitals in the region. The area has a regional mandate for emergency and planned surgical care, and we also provide some highly specialized care for out-of-region patients.

Planned healthcare is increasingly located in Karlskoga and Lindesberg, and similarly, tumor and trauma activities are located in Örebro. Within the area, there is active development work with a focus on the patient throughout the care process.

Örebro University Hospital (USÖ) is one of the three emergency hospitals in the region where we provide advanced healthcare, research, and education. Both in 2020 and 2019, USÖ received the prestigious award for Best University Hospital from the newspaper Dagens Medicin. USÖ won the most significant category for medical quality, had the best results in the categories of accessibility, economy, as well as in the category of avoiding pressure ulcers and overcrowding. USÖ also tops the results in the areas of heart, kidney failure, and vascular surgery. USÖ has about 3,500 employees. We who work here are very proud of our hospital and base our work on collaboration, development, and professionalism.
