Our Operations

Since 2019, Region Uppsala has been operating its own medicine preparation service at Akademiska sjukhuset. The work takes place at the Central Preparation Unit (CBE) and the Radio-pharmaceutical Preparation Unit (RBE), both located at Entrance 100/101, in new cleanroom facilities specifically built for this purpose. At CBE, we prepare cytostatics and other aseptic medicines for the hospital's wards. At RBE, radio-pharmaceuticals are prepared for the Nuclear Medicine department.

The Medicine Preparation Unit is part of Akademiska sjukhuset's hospital pharmacy function, Medicines and Pharmacy. Within Medicines and Pharmacy, there is extensive pharmaceutical competence distributed across the various operations within the department, such as clinical pharmacy, ward pharmacy, medicine supply, clinical trials, quality review, etc.

Currently, approximately 20 employees (pharmacists, dispensing pharmacists, and assistants) work within the Medicine Preparation Unit to provide extemporaneous preparations for our patients. We now have the opportunity to offer a permanent position, and we are looking for you who have a great interest in medicine manufacturing and want to develop together with us.

Your Role

The main tasks involve extemporaneous manufacturing, including order preparation and final control of cytostatics and other aseptic preparations. Manufacturing at CBE takes place in a Class B room in a safety cabinet in accordance with current regulations (GMP).

Here, you will work in a tight-knit team characterized by good cooperation, high competence, flexibility, and responsibility, with the patient's best interests in focus. We are a natural part of the hospital and have close contact with the ordering wards and other pharmacists within our organization.

Your Qualifications

Registered Dispensing Pharmacist (Leg. Receptarie) with preparation competence or Registered Pharmacist (Leg. Apotekare). Experience in extemporaneous manufacturing and good knowledge of GMP are meritorious.

We want you as a person to be responsible, flexible, and engaged, and to wish to contribute to the operation's goals and development. You are solution-oriented and patient-focused. You find it easy to collaborate with the work group as well as with the ordering wards, and you contribute positive energy to the group. Great importance will be attached to personal suitability.

We Offer

Permanent employment with a start date no earlier than 2026-08-24 or as agreed. Probation period of up to 6 months may apply. Full-time, 40 hours/week.

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

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

Before a decision on employment, a check of the suspicion and criminal records will be conducted for all job applicants who, in the sought position, may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care for children and youth, or compulsory care for addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to mainly involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

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