The Palliative Care Department in Lund is now looking for hourly employed nursing assistants who want to work with specialized palliative care, aimed at alleviating and preventing suffering in connection with severe illness. Patients are often, but far from always, at the end of life. More than half of the patients are admitted acutely via ASIH (Advanced Medical Care at Home), and all who are admitted are in need of specialized palliative inpatient care. Severe pain, anxiety, and infections are some common reasons for admission. After a period of treatment, some patients may return home.
