Your Workplace

The Laboratory Medicine Värmland department encompasses four specialties: clinical chemistry, clinical microbiology, clinical pathology, and transfusion medicine. The department's mission is to offer sampling, blood services, preparation and analysis of samples, and to produce quality-assured analysis results, diagnoses, and diagnostic support with high service quality.

Transfusion Medicine Karlstad has approximately 35 employees and is physically divided into two locations: GeBlod at Karolinen and the Blood Center at the Central Hospital. A license as a biomedical laboratory scientist is required to work at the Blood Center.

We offer you a responsible and exciting job within transfusion medicine with great opportunities for personal development and variety!

Your Responsibilities

At GeBlod, we receive blood, plasma, and platelet donors. Here, we also prepare blood components and platelets for patients and produce plasma for pharmaceuticals. The work is primarily carried out during daytime hours, and the work group consists of both nurses and biomedical laboratory scientists. Some employees rotate between GeBlod and the Blood Center at the Central Hospital.

Tests performed at the Central Hospital in Karlstad include blood typing, antibody screening, and pre-testing of blood components prior to planned and emergency transfusions. Reservation and dispensing of blood components and tissues to patients are performed around the clock, as well as advanced blood group serological investigations.
