Make a difference. Every day.

Do you want to work in Internal Medicine? Then you might be the person we are looking for at Medicine Department 8! This position is for those who want to be part of a stimulating and developing workplace characterized by joy, pride, and loyalty.

Medicine Department 8 is the internal medicine inpatient department at Skåne University Hospital (Sus) in Lund, where our Clinical Education Unit (KUA) is included. In the department, we primarily care for elderly patients with multiple illnesses from the emergency department who are being assessed and treated for conditions such as heart failure, respiratory failure, and various infections. Different professions complement each other with their expertise and high engagement, creating a team spirit and quality in patient care.

KUA is an important part of our operations and constitutes one of our teams in the department. KUA is led by a clinical teacher, and here students learn through interprofessional education. Both new and experienced nurses have the opportunity to develop their mentoring and leadership skills together with their colleagues.

- I enjoy meeting people, and here we see the whole person. We encounter a broad patient clientele with many different diagnoses, and I can still develop through internal training and new situations that arise. At KUA, where we work interprofessionally, the overall picture of the patient becomes clear as we see different aspects of the patient situation based on our expertise. We mentors take a step back, and the students are in the foreground. The good atmosphere, strong cohesion, joy, and laughter make me look forward to my next shift. Here, there is an open atmosphere, and we see each other, says Katarina, a nurse with many years in the profession.
