Our Operations

Are you passionate about women's health care, just like us? Do you dream of becoming a midwife in the future or want to work with surgical care? Then we are the department for you!

The area of women's health includes two sections, the obstetrics section and the gynecology section. Within the gynecology section, we have our care department, gynecology ward 96C1, gynecological specialist clinics including the emergency department for gynecology, and the reproductive center. The obstetrics section includes the delivery department, maternity ward, and obstetric specialist clinics. We have close cooperation between our different units within the area and are proud of the care we provide to our patients throughout the Healthcare Region of Central Sweden.

At gynecology ward 96C1, approximately 1600 patients from the entire Healthcare Region of Central Sweden receive care each year. We are very proud to have been certified as a European center for advanced ovarian cancer surgery and operate on approximately 80-100 women with ovarian cancer each year. We also provide nationally specialized care for certain endometriosis cases, focusing on advanced surgery. Through our emergency department, patients of all ages with various gynecological conditions come for investigation, surgery, and treatment.

Your Mission

As a nurse in gynecology ward 96C1, you will care for patients who are being investigated and operated on for gynecological cancer and other gynecological diseases. You will also meet patients seeking acute gynecological care, for example, with infections or complications during early pregnancy, as well as those seeking abortion. With us, you work in a care team with nursing assistants and together with doctors and other health professionals.

Your Qualifications and Skills
