Department of Women's Health

We are Akademiska sjukhuset – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. As a county hospital and provider of highly specialized care, we offer healthcare to two million people in Central Sweden. Something is always happening here – a new life is born, a grandmother undergoes surgery, a colleague is hailed as a hero. Here, you will experience both tough challenges and fantastic events, within a strong community with your colleagues. We welcome your application!

Do you, like us, find women's health to be exciting fields? Do you want to learn more and develop with us? To follow and support women through all stages of life, in joy and sorrow, with and against adversity, is incredibly rewarding and something we are passionate about within our department. Do you agree with us? Then you might be the right person for us.

Our Operations

Our gynecological specialist clinics consist of a family planning clinic, a pelvic floor clinic, a dysplasia unit, an endometriosis center, a clinic for minor procedures, and an emergency clinic.

At the emergency clinic, we receive approximately 500 patients each month with acute gynecological and obstetric complaints, such as abdominal pain, bleeding, problems in early pregnancy, and infections. In collaboration with the National Centre for Women's Peace (NCK), we also receive women who have been subjected to sexual violence. At the emergency clinic, you will work with nursing, assessment, prioritization, and treatment of the acutely ill patient.

We have seen an increased need to coordinate acute visits within women's health, and we have therefore initiated work on a joint emergency clinic for gynecological and obstetric patients.

At the abortion and contraception clinic, we work with receiving and advising on unplanned pregnancies and guiding women who wish to undergo abortion. We offer telephone counseling, contraceptive counseling, and perform certain abortions as day care.

The pelvic floor clinic receives patients with problems from the urinary tract, prolapse, or lingering complaints from childbirth, as well as vulvar complaints.

The dysplasia unit and the invitation office for cervical cancer screening work with both screening activities and treatment after cell changes.

Academiska sjukhuset and our endometriosis center provide National Highly Specialized Care (NHV) for certain types of endometriosis. The assignment focuses on advanced surgery, which approximately 250 patients in Sweden need every year. We also receive referrals to the endometriosis center for assessment.

At the clinic for minor procedures, we perform smaller interventions under local anesthesia, such as heat treatments, insertion and removal of IUDs, and removal of polyps.

Your Role

We are now looking for midwives who want to work in our broad operations.

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 in peacetime for the individual employee but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, a check of suspicion and criminal records will be conducted for all job seekers who in the sought employment may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or involuntary 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 aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's own channels, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales.
