Our Operations

We have a large catchment area as we are one of six highly specialized neurosurgical clinics in Sweden, and we receive both planned and emergency patients around the clock. The patients we care for have bleeding in the head, tumors in the brain and spine, spinal injuries, vascular malformations, and hydrocephalus.

The brain is the most important thing we have and the part that determines our body and who we are. The brain is a mystery we are constantly learning more about. It controls everything we do, or cannot do. Does that sound exciting? Come and be a part of our fantastic team!

We have close cooperation across departmental boundaries to focus on the work environment and do the best for our employees. We have active leadership that contributes to structure and a good work environment, which is very important to us.

You are never alone!
