About this role
BUP Stockholm is a child and adolescent psychiatric specialist service within the publicly operated healthcare system in the Stockholm County Healthcare Area, SLSO, which is part of Region Stockholm.
The organization consists of five sections that together encompass 44 units. BUP's vision for the future of specialized child and adolescent psychiatry is to provide the right care when and where you need it – for a specialized, equitable, and knowledge-based child psychiatry with a focus on development and participation. This means that the care we provide is safe, effective, person-centered, timely, equitable, integrated, resource-efficient, and that we as a workgroup achieve this in a sustainable work environment. We are now seeking a manager for the Research and Development Section (FoUU).
The FoUU section has a multifaceted mission:
- Conduct clinical care, preferably with simultaneous systematic evaluation. Several of the units that have been placed within FoUU exist due to uncertain evidence for interventions such as immunopsychiatry, severe norm-breaking behavior, or gender dysphoria, or when we see a need to test operations within project frameworks and cannot see a secure connection with other parts of BUP. This also means that these units may be closed down or "moved out" somewhere within the rest of BUP after a period.
- Ensure and coordinate competence development and training, both at the undergraduate level (the child psychiatry part of medical education) and advanced level. This work is carried out in close collaboration with the Center for Psychiatric Research, KIND, or other KI. The assignment also includes coordinating clinical placements for various training programs (nurses, medical secretaries, occupational therapists, social workers, psychologists) as well as PTP service. The continuing education of doctors, ST, and BT service is managed within the medical office of BUP and is outside this scope.
- Coordinate, drive, and monitor research and development work within BUP. This is done through, among other things, a special preparation group for research and one for development, where work is currently ongoing in service design. The ambition is to stimulate research throughout BUP, and several projects are underway in units other than those housed within the FoUU section. Development is ongoing to establish FoUU coordinators in the various sections.
