Your workplace

On Ward 44, a dedicated team works with a focus on quality and care. Here, nurses and care assistants work in teams, together with the ward doctor, counselor, and occupational therapist. The ward has 12 beds and admits patients with, among other things, severe depression, anxiety, suicide risk, bipolar disorder, and delusions.

We are a 24/7 operation with shifts during the day, evening, night, and every other weekend. An exciting new addition is that patients now have access to meet a therapy dog.

We always strive to provide our patients with the best possible care. To achieve this, we work with a holistic approach to inpatients. Our focus is on risk prevention and creating the best possible conditions for patients even after their hospital stay. We are constantly developing and delivering patient-safe, evidence-based, and high-quality care.
