Specialist Physician in Infectious Diseases, Skåne University Hospital

Make a difference. Every day.

The Department of Infectious Diseases at Skåne University Hospital (Sus) is responsible for patients with infectious and immunodeficiency diseases. The department operates in both Malmö and Lund, providing inpatient care and outpatient clinics at both locations. In total, the department manages three wards with a combined total of 72 beds. The department primarily treats patients with acute infectious diseases such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, wound and soft tissue infections, gastroenteritis, endocarditis, spondylitis, and sepsis. We also treat patients with HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis, tropical diseases such as malaria, and patients being investigated for fever of unknown origin. Both outpatient services and needle exchange programs are available in Malmö and Lund. The two main purposes of the needle exchange program, in accordance with the Needle Exchange Act, are to prevent blood-borne infections and to therapeutically promote drug-free living. We are active participants in the SUS Hospital at Home initiative at both locations, which offers inpatient care in the patient's own home environment.

The department has broad contacts with other units within the hospital, as well as with other actors in healthcare such as Smittskydd Skåne (Infection Control Skåne), Infection Prevention and Control, Clinical Microbiology, as well as universities and colleges. Within the department, there is a continuous work on development, education, and research.

We strive to be an attractive workplace where you have the opportunity to grow professionally throughout your career, with the patient's best interests always in focus.
