Our Operations

Akademiska Sjukhuset's vision is to be the leading university hospital that creates the greatest value for patients. This means we work for the best possible clinical results, have a business management that supports continuous improvements, and a work environment where employees can develop and contribute. We collaborate with a focus on patient-centeredness, work in teams where the patient is a natural part, and follow the patient's journey through care.

The Quality Development Unit supports the hospital's operations in working with quality and patient safety. Our mission is to contribute to care becoming more cohesive, process-oriented, and learning-driven – with the patient's focus as the starting point.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, a check of the suspicion and criminal records is conducted for all job seekers who in the sought employment may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to mainly contain work with the above-mentioned patient groups.

This recruitment takes place entirely through Region Uppsala's own channels and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertisement sales.
