Rehabilitation Medicine at Sandviken Hospital

Rehabilitation Medicine at Sandviken Hospital receives patients from across the County of Gävleborg. Our largest diagnostic groups include stroke, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and certain neurological diseases. Patients' functional abilities vary from requiring total assistance to needing support with memory, problem-solving, structure, and speech, which can make it difficult for them to participate in daily, family, leisure, and societal life.

On the rehabilitation medicine ward, you will be part of a multidisciplinary team consisting of nurses, assistant nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, rehabilitation assistants, psychologists, doctors, leisure leaders, and speech therapists.

Some training takes place in the community.

• Assess the patient's functional ability from both a motor and cognitive perspective.
• Be responsible for assessment, treatment/training, and discharge planning for 3–4 patients.
• Maintain contact and collaborate with the patient, next of kin, other team members, and external partners (e.g., primary care and municipal services) throughout the entire rehabilitation process.

What We Offer
