Job Description

Patient-Centered Laboratory Medicine (PNL) is one of the specialties within the laboratory medicine operations in Region Östergötland. We run a well-developed operation where the work environment is characterized by responsibility, trust, and participation. We are located at most of Östergötland's healthcare centers, as well as at the sampling units at the University Hospital and Vrinnevisjukhuset. Today, about 100 employees work within PNL, most of whom are biomedical analysts or medical biologists; we also have medical technical assistants, nursing assistants, and laboratory instructors in our team.

PNL has a central role in the care chain, and we are the important first link in the laboratory operations. We take samples for the entire healthcare system and perform analyses in hematology, coagulation, and chemistry. The work in the laboratory is done in close collaboration with other professionals at the healthcare center, but the organizational affiliation is Patient-Centered Laboratory Medicine, which also stands for your competence development and the laboratory's quality assurance and instrumentation.
