The Adult Psychiatry area in Malmö Trelleborg is divided into four areas: inpatient care, outpatient care, addiction, and psychosis. We are more than 850 employees working together to provide good care for our patients. The inpatient care area, where approximately 230 employees are included, consists of three inpatient wards and an intermediate care unit. In addition, there is a large emergency department, a psychiatric intensive care unit, a brain stimulation team, as well as administration and resource teams.

Here we work with nurses, unit managers, team leaders, care assistants, ward coordinators, specialist doctors as well as resident doctors (ST- and AT-doctors). Some of our specially trained staff are also part of the prehospital acute psychiatry unit (PAP), the so-called psychiatry ambulance. Some of our specially trained nurses and specialist doctors work with psychiatric consultation towards somatic care.

Our staff group is experienced, functioning well, and has low staff turnover. The work environment is characterized by good cohesion and well-being. We actively work to promote a good work environment and constantly develop our working methods. The area constitutes a university healthcare unit and scientific anchoring permeates the operations. Many units are involved in some form of research and development work.
