NU Hospital is part of the Region of Västra Götaland and is one of Sweden's larger county hospitals. We are located at NÄL (Norra Älvsborg County Hospital) in Trollhättan and Uddevalla Hospital. The hospital's catchment area covers 280,000 inhabitants. Together, we are approximately 5,000 employees who work every day to provide good and safe specialist care.

About the Department

MÄVA is an abbreviation for Medical Elderly Care Department. The clinic's MÄVA departments are for chronically ill patients who are older than 75 years with recurring needs for emergency care and who have deteriorated in their chronic illness. Our patients have many different diagnoses such as heart failure, COPD, infections, and diabetes, which makes our work both developing and challenging. At MÄVA, you will also work with CPAP, BIPAP, and arrhythmia registration.

We want to contribute to increased accessibility and security, reducing anxiety and worry. With short and simple contact routes, our ambition is that care and support should be delivered at the right level at the right time.

The care at MÄVA has the task to:

• Treat current disease symptoms
• Plan and establish contacts so that patients continue to receive the help they need

A large part of our patients come directly to the department without first passing through the emergency room. We are also part of Collaborative Healthcare, which means that we cooperate with ambulances, the municipality, and primary care. The work at MÄVA is strongly development- and team-oriented. We try new ways of working in order to improve the care of our patients and to develop different professional roles. To thrive at MÄVA, you need to be open to development, enjoy varied work with a high pace, and have the ability to think new.
