We handle daily everything from medical tasks such as giving injections, connecting infusions and medication pumps, inserting catheters, and performing drainage taps via various types of drainage to having supportive conversations with the patient or relative and being a support in contact with authorities.

We strive to offer patients and relatives qualified care, both medically and psychosocially, around the clock. The position therefore involves working partly on irregular hours. Here, there is an opportunity to make a difference and be satisfied when the shift is over.
