Our Operations

Department 101E belongs to the area of ear, nose, and throat diseases. We are located in building 101 and operate in new, fine premises. The department consists of a day surgery part and a preoperative part, which provides opportunities for a developing and varied everyday life.

The preoperative part is tasked with preparing patients for surgeries and examinations. Patients come from several different surgical areas, such as surgery and urology, which provides a great variety of surgeries and treatments. The main patient flow of the department consists of elective patients who will be operated on/treatment at the hospital's various operating departments, radiology, or outpatient clinics.

The day surgery part provides pre and postoperative care for patients within ear, nose, and throat surgery, plastic surgery, and maxillofacial surgery. The patients you meet are both children and adults of all ages. There is a wide variety of procedures performed both under general anesthesia and local anesthesia.

The department's primary goal is to deliver safe, properly prepared patients to the right operating department at the right time and to offer good postoperative care. We have short hospital stays and work periodically at a high pace.

Your Mission

We at 101E are now looking for a new colleague who wants to become an important part of our team. The department is an important part of the surgical chain, and you will collaborate closely with the surgical departments and operating rooms. One of your most important tasks is to make patients feel safe and well taken care of before the upcoming surgery. Regular nursing tasks such as sampling and catheterization are also included.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for someone who has a flexible approach, is responsible, and finds high patient flows to be an exciting and fun challenge. You can also see each patient's needs in brief meetings and make them feel safe and cared for. You work independently and in a structured manner and find it easy to collaborate both within your own workgroup and with our partners. As a colleague, you are positive and contribute to a good working environment. We also want you to have the ability to think innovatively and a desire to develop the operations together with the group.
