Are you a nursing assistant with a strong interest in acute psychiatry?

Welcome to the Resource Team, which is now looking for new colleagues!

The Resource Team is a unit within the Psychiatry North West clinic and is based at Danderyd Hospital. The team consists of nursing assistants whose primary task is to perform external extra shifts in somatic departments at Danderyd Hospital AB and the New Karolinska Hospital in Solna.
