**Our Operations**
Here in the orthopedic rehabilitation department, a dedicated team has had the privilege of starting a new department together. We work from a person-centered and rehabilitative approach, which is the foundation of our interactions with patients as well as in the development of our operations. We are now seeking more colleagues who are passionate about teamwork, focusing on each patient's unique circumstances and personal goals.
We are an inpatient department for patients with orthopedic diagnoses who require additional care and rehabilitation after, for example, trauma, fractures, or prosthetic surgeries. The length of stay typically ranges from seven to ten days and is adjusted according to the patients' needs, with twelve beds available in our department. Teamwork is central to our department, enabling a comprehensive view of the patient, individualized measures, and promoting patient safety. Together, we have daily check-ins within the team, which consists of: nurses, nursing assistants, orthopedic surgeons, medical doctors, junior doctors, pharmacists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and social workers.
We focus on healthy work schedules and hours, developing team rounds, person-centered care, daily management, and more. We strive to streamline discharges and actively work towards good collaboration with our colleagues in the rest of the hospital, Uppsala University Hospital, and the municipality.
