As a temporary junior doctor with us, you will have a stimulating and varied job in a safe and learning environment. You will receive guidance from experienced general practitioners and have the opportunity to develop both professionally and personally.
The work is diverse and includes patients of all ages and life situations. You will work independently at the clinic, handling both planned and urgent assessments. Your responsibilities also include reception visits focused on basic controls, especially in asthma/COPD and hypertension. There will always be an experienced colleague available for consultation when needed.
You will have good opportunities to influence your schedule and your appointment calendar. There is also the possibility of some remote work with administrative tasks, digital patient meetings, telephone consultations, and participation in our pilot project for self-monitoring. In the self-monitoring project, patients who require continuous follow-up for a certain period are monitored, for example, during the initiation or adjustment of blood pressure medication or heart failure medication. Patients use an app along with devices such as blood pressure monitors, blood glucose meters, or scales to conduct their checks from home. All communication between the patient and healthcare provider takes place smoothly via the app’s chat function, where all of the patient's vital parameters are also visible.
