Vacant job

Healthcare Unit E, Högland Hospital Eksjö

Are you our next colleague for the diabetic foot care clinic?

The Role of Foot Care Specialist

The Diabetic Foot Care Clinic is part of Medical Healthcare Unit E at the Medicine and Geriatrics Clinic. As a Foot Care Specialist, you will perform foot care and wound care for diabetic patients. This also involves observing, assessing, prioritizing, documenting, and communicating changes in the patient's foot status.

You will participate in team-based care around the patient and, in dialogue with the patient and their relatives, provide support and guidance to enable optimal participation in care and treatment. The team consists of a diabetologist, a diabetes nurse, a dietitian, and a podiatrist. As a podiatrist, you will also frequently collaborate with orthopedic surgeons and orthotists.

This is an independent role where you will have the opportunity to take significant personal responsibility, while working in a team with high competence across several other professions.

This contributes to our processes being quality-assured so that patients receive good and safe care.
