About Us

Specialized palliative care is care provided to patients with complex symptoms or whose life situation entails specific needs, delivered by a multidisciplinary team with specialized knowledge and competence in palliative care. The team consists of doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, social workers, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists. Based on the patient's often complex needs and life situation, all professions contribute to optimizing palliative care. As a nurse, you play a vital role in the team.

PRT (Palliative Resource Team) is responsible for patients in need of specialized palliative care who are being cared for in their own homes in the City of Gothenburg, Mölndal, Partille, Härryda, and Öckerö municipalities. PRT operates from 7:30 AM to 9:00 PM, seven days a week.
