We invite you to join our team.

Our Operations

Our orthopedic day surgery unit is in an expansion phase, with plans to increase the number of operating rooms. We are a small, close-knit unit with the patient at the center of everything we do. Our team consists of operating room nurses, anesthesia nurses, nursing assistants, orthopedic surgeons, and anesthesiologists.

We perform day surgery procedures in hand, fracture, shoulder/knee, and foot surgery. By striving for efficient workflows, we ensure that our surgical program is executed smoothly. Our patients are well-prepared for this type of care and typically return home a few hours after surgery.

Onboarding is tailored to your previous experience. Together with the Deputy Unit Manager and the Education Coordinator Nurse, you will develop an individual competence development plan.
