We provide comprehensive primary care services, offering care to people of all ages throughout the course of life – newborns, children, adolescents, adults, older people, and patients in end-of-life care.

We are a forward-looking organisation with a strong focus on a healthy working environment, continuous employee development, and well-being.

We offer good opportunities for professional development for those who wish to advance within their profession, take on managerial roles, or pursue other career paths, for example through specialisation or research.

Our mission is to provide excellent care to all our inhabitants. We collaborate closely with Linköping University, one of Sweden's leading research institutes in healthcare, life science, and education. Both Region Östergötland and Linköping University are top-ranking nationally in education and as providers of healthcare. Our departments offer good opportunities for your professional development.

Job Description

At our primary care centres, we work in multi-professional teams to provide the best healthcare for our patients. By having close collaboration between different professions, we can give high-quality care and at the same time contribute to skill development for all employees.

Working as a General Practitioner in Sweden requires knowledge of diagnostics and treatment of health problems in all ages. Training and supervision of medical students at all education levels, from undergraduate to specialist training, and with students in other healthcare professions, is an important task for our senior specialists. Swedish primary health care applies knowledge-based care, which requires continuous ability development, where methods shown to be less effective are replaced with better ones.

An important part of the General Practitioner's work is systematic quality development and self-training based on operational requirements.
