Vacant job

Do you want to work like private providers while enjoying the security and benefits of the Region? Now is your chance!

We are looking for a driven and engaged anesthesia nurse for the Planned Operations Unit Sala, EPOS, part of Region Västmanland's highly productive hip and knee prosthesis unit at the Orthopedic Clinic.

At EPOS, all staff, from anesthesiologists to sterile technicians, are employed by the unit. This creates an efficient care chain similar to private providers, but with the advantage that we can offer most patients, including those with more complex conditions, hip or knee prosthesis surgery.

EPOS aims to:

Become Sweden's leading prosthesis center for hip and knee prostheses, ranging from simple primary procedures to complex revisions. Be a prosthesis center where patients and staff from all over the country seek us out due to the highest quality, best results, and high competence in the field.

Job Responsibilities

In the role of anesthesia nurse within our planned operations, you are part of a multidisciplinary team and a key person who develops and drives the operations together with your colleagues.

Standard tasks for an anesthesia nurse. The position also includes some administration and ordering related to anesthesia.

About the Workplace

The Planned Operations Unit in Sala is part of the Orthopedic Clinic with inpatient orthopedic care focused on hip and knee arthroplasty. By gathering the entire care chain and all competence within the same unit in its own premises, we increase productivity, reduce care time, and create higher quality for both patients, employees, and the region as a healthcare provider.

The goal is to create efficient flows and functioning teams to evaluate and achieve efficiency while securing production, where all staff are employed by the Orthopedic Clinic.

Our new unit in Sala consists of a reception, ward, operating department, postoperative ward, and sterile supply center. We have three operating rooms and 17 care beds on the ward. Currently, two operating rooms are in operation, with the third room primarily intended for use as a training room.

The Planned Operations Unit in Sala opened on April 15, 2024, with its own high-production operating rooms, covering the entire care chain from new visits to concluded care contacts.

We are proud to have recently won first prize in the quality index for the Swedish PeriOperative Register (SPOR) for the second year in a row.
