About Primary Care

Primary care within Region Jämtland Härjedalen is organized into 4 local care areas. Since January 2022, primary care and ambulance services have been integrated under "good and close care." Each local care area is an economic unit led by a business manager. Primary care is also responsible for the region's healthcare advice service, youth clinic, and the local care ward Näva, all of which are grant-funded. Within the primary care area, there is a good research climate, and it holds the status of a university healthcare unit. Our R&D unit can provide support and scientific supervision, primarily in collaboration with Umeå University.

About Lits Health Centre

Lits Health Centre is a well-functioning health centre and workplace, with good routines and collaboration mixed with a large portion of innovative thinking.

Our medical group consists of 3 specialists in general medicine, 2 ST-doctors, one locum doctor, and one locum assistant doctor. The team also includes district nurses, nurses, assistant nurses, and medical secretaries.

We warmly welcome you to join us!

Responsibilities

Primary care is in the midst of a transition towards close care, which means, among other things, responsibility for a smaller number of patients in favor of increased responsibility for our most vulnerable elderly. We work based on the concept of extended primary care; this approach also means increased opportunities for home visits, thereby being able to convey security to the patients who need it most.

The work as a specialist in general medicine involves responsibility for a geographical area with clinic visits, emergency visits, home visits, qualified phone consultations, and in-depth medication reviews. We have a doctor's meeting with a joint referral review once a week, and in addition, time is allocated for development work. Occasional on-call duties are included in the work.

We are responsible for four SÄBOs, including short-term places, and have a well-functioning collaboration with the municipality's district nurses in home healthcare. Within the framework of your employment, there is an opportunity for side assignments within SÄBO, MVC (Maternity and Child Health), and BVC (Child Health). Supervision of candidates and training doctors is included in the work. Given that primary care has the status of a university healthcare unit, teaching, supervision, and education of medical students at Umeå University are included in the position.

Qualifications

We are looking for a curious and interested specialist doctor in general medicine who is interested in primary care and wants to develop our health centre together with us. Independent research and doctoral supervision are meritorious but not a formal requirement for the position.

We see that you are, as mentioned before, genuinely interested in primary care, self-directed, take responsibility, and want to contribute to a good atmosphere in the work group.

Personal suitability is given great weight.

Employment type: Permanent.
Duration: Permanent.
