Description

FaR - Physical Activity on Prescription, is an evidence-based method for supporting patients to increase their physical activity. The FaR method has been used since the early 2000s. Despite the method having existed for a long time and having evidence, it is used too rarely in healthcare. More patients need to receive a FaR. The government has therefore allocated state grants to increase FaR prescriptions for the fourth year in a row. Academic Primary Care Centre will run a project for FaR implementation during 2026.

The project concerns training and implementation of FaR in primary care. We are looking for you who are a physiotherapist with experience from primary care. You need to have experience and interest in working with lifestyle habits and FaR. The tasks consist of providing training and together with colleagues carrying out development of e.g. materials etc.

You need to be a responsible, flexible, independent, driven and creative person. The work also requires that you have social competence and a humble attitude and that you thrive in an environment where there are demands on delivery.

Qualifications

• Licensed nurse
• Experience of prescribing FaR
• Experience of working in projects
• Master's degree
• Good computer skills and good knowledge of the office package (Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Pedagogical experience or education is meritorious.
• Good ability to express yourself in speech and writing in Swedish and English
