Job Description

We are looking for a specialist in general practice for our doctor's clinic. The position includes standard outpatient work within the primary care remit, such as doctor's consultations, child health services, and consultations with home healthcare and special housing facilities. To some extent, the scope and distribution of these tasks can be tailored to your individual interests. You will participate in on-call duties, both the joint primary care on-call service at the emergency centre and the back-on-call line. Part of your working time will be dedicated to supervising less experienced colleagues, such as AT/ST doctors and medical students. This takes place during specially allocated time in the schedule.

If you, as a doctor, see digitalization and new technology as an opportunity, we want to create space to adopt new methods and ways of working. We aim to foster innovative primary care and close-to-home care, while also providing opportunities to meet our patients in alternative ways, such as through video visits and monitoring of certain chronic diseases.

Work Group

We are approximately 27 employees at the health centre who enjoy working together in an open working climate. The doctor's clinic currently consists of 5 specialists in general practice and 2 ST doctors.
