Our Operations

On gynecology ward 96C1, approximately 1,600 patients from the entire Healthcare Region of Central Sweden receive care each year.

Through our emergency clinic, patients of all ages with various gynecological conditions come for investigation, surgery, and treatment. We collaborate closely with other units within the Women's Health area and also care for some obstetric patients.

The combination of planned and emergency care means that no two days are alike, and we constantly learn and develop together. The work in women's health places high demands on our medical competence but also on our ability to be sensitive to the people we face, who, like us, have different backgrounds and experiences. Supporting women in all stages of life, being there when life is turned upside down, and providing the best possible care to our patients is what we are passionate about in our area of operations.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal registers are conducted for all job seekers who in the applied position may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by facultative register extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks currently are not intended to mainly contain work with the above-mentioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales.
