Specialist Physician in Psychiatry at Neuropsychiatry Clinic West/East

Together, we are developing Sahlgrenska University Hospital for a sustainable future. We are transforming healthcare with the goal of becoming Europe’s leading university hospital by 2032. Together with our patients, we work for quality, accessibility, patient safety, research, education, and innovation – in a cohesive healthcare system in the Västra Götaland region. Our vision and goals aim for care of the highest quality, where the patient is always in focus. We provide healthcare locally and regionally, but also highly specialized care to patients across the country and abroad. Our employees are our strength, contributing to knowledge exchange nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new working methods, we can simplify everyday life at the hospital and offer modern, accessible, and efficient care of the highest quality.

About the Department

Neuropsychiatry is one of five adult psychiatric areas within Sahlgrenska University Hospital. We provide specialized psychiatric care focusing on memory-related diseases, neuropsychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, psychiatry for the deaf and hard of hearing, psychiatry for patients with eating disorders, psychiatry for patients with intellectual disabilities, and patients with Huntington's disease.

Currently, the neuropsychiatric care consists of two clinics for the assessment of neuropsychiatric disabilities and treatment of ADHD. An additional clinic is planned to open soon, focusing on treating comorbid psychiatric conditions in autism and treating Tourette's syndrome.

What do we offer?

We are a department with a good atmosphere, competent colleagues, short decision-making paths, clear goals and working methods, and an active, successful research unit. Our aim is to provide our patients with the best possible care while offering our employees a workplace that encourages development and continuing education.

Job Responsibilities

The role of a specialist physician in psychiatry at the Neuropsychiatry Clinic West/East largely involves supervising junior doctors in a fork clinic. Additionally, the work includes conducting neuropsychiatric assessments (ADHD, autism, or intellectual disabilities) and providing treatment for patients needing ADHD therapy. As many of our patients also have other psychiatric comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, or sleep disorders, treatment of comorbidity according to established national and regional guidelines regarding responsibility distribution is also included.

About You

We are looking for a licensed physician with specialist competence in psychiatry. As a person, you are secure in your medical role and have a strong interest in sharing your knowledge with others, both within your own profession and with other professions. If you have previous experience in supervising in a fork model, we view this positively.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
