Vacant job

Do you want to develop health data registers and statistics for monitoring Swedish healthcare? Health data is in an interesting and eventful time, not least with the preparation of a new health data register law, the introduction of new code sets, and data sharing in Europe. We now have an exciting position involving varied tasks within investigation, production, management, and development of registers and statistics for, among other things, prescribed medicines.
