Then this might be the job for you! The Burn Center offers you the opportunity to develop your skills in burn care while simultaneously being part of a digital development that benefits your work environment and patient safety.

Your Role

As an intensive care nurse at the Burn Center, you are responsible for the care of patients requiring intensive care and intermediate care.

Our Operations

Welcome to Sweden's hottest workplace, the Burn Center in Uppsala! Just below the helicopter pad, we operate one of the country's two units providing national highly specialized burn care. Here, we work in multidisciplinary teams, always with the patient in focus. We treat burn patients from the acute stage, requiring advanced intensive care, through intermediate care, and finally rehabilitation before the patient is discharged. This provides continuity in care and close contact with the patient and their relatives. The department has an operating room where our patients are operated on. Our operations are complemented by an outpatient clinic where we treat minor injuries and care for patients who have been discharged from the ward.
