Our Operations

Surgical Ward 70D is part of the Surgical and Urological Department and provides highly specialized care in colorectal, endocrine, and emergency surgery. Additionally, we are one of four hospitals in Sweden providing national highly specialized care with HIPEC for patients with disseminated cancer of the peritoneum, as well as care for patients with endocrine abdominal tumors.

Here, you will encounter a broad patient group. We care for both patients undergoing planned surgeries and those requiring emergency surgical treatment. Common diagnoses may include cholecystitis, pancreatitis, ileus, or bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, as well as trauma in the form of falls, traffic accidents, etc. Patients are admitted via the emergency department or as direct admissions from other hospitals. The combination of elective and emergency surgery creates a learning-rich and varied work environment where no two days are alike.

The ward is located high up in the 70-building in bright and modern facilities with spacious single rooms adapted to the patients' various care needs. We are a team consisting of nursing assistants, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and other vital health professionals working together in teams around the surgical patient. Our care is based on the 'Fundamentals of Care' framework, where we adopt a clear person-centered approach, putting the patient at the center. Here, you get to make a difference!

To support your professional development, we offer:

• Individual and structured introduction
• Regular training days
• Weekly lectures
• Personal scheduling with the opportunity to influence your schedule

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 making a decision on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job seekers who in the sought position may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care for children and youth, or involuntary care of 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 primarily involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

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