Job Description

As part of the continued development of our operations, we are now seeking a specialist physician for our units in Lund. The catchment area is the Operations Area (VO) Central Scania, comprising eight municipalities. Within the operations, there is rotational service between ASIH, the palliative care ward, and the consultative, advisory, and support functions.

The goal of care is to relieve the patient's symptoms to achieve a good quality of life, taking into account physical, psychological, existential, and social needs, as well as support for relatives. We offer a developing and meaningful job where you become part of a multiprofessional team.

You perform medical interventions on the palliative care ward as well as in the patient's home or specialized housing. In this role, you lead and actively participate in planning the patient's care together with other professions and in collaboration with other healthcare providers. We expect you to actively participate in the development and improvement work of the operations.

According to the operations' mandate, we must be able to perform medical assessments, initiate treatments, and carry out medical-technical interventions around the clock, every day of the year. The position includes on-call and standby service in the operations area's own on-call line.

Palliative medicine is an additional specialty. The unit has a well-established Specialist Training (ST) program, and as a physician, you are expected to undergo ST to achieve specialist competence in palliative medicine as well.

Personal Suitability

Personal suitability is of great importance. The role requires good cooperation skills and that you thrive in multiprofessional teams. As a physician, you are confident in your professional role, have good professional knowledge, and a flexible approach. The work also requires a holistic perspective, where both the patient's and relatives' needs are considered, and where you actively contribute to the team's joint discussions and assessments.
