Our Operations
Geriatrics, Rehabilitation, and Pain Center is characterized by well-functioning multidisciplinary teams, which we are very proud of. Our operational area has a broad mandate where working is meaningful, exciting, and developmental. There are good opportunities to participate in development work and research, where we translate new knowledge into care.
Our Department
At the Geriatric Acute Care Ward 30A, the elderly, fragile person is the focus. We provide medical acute care with a rehabilitation approach for older patients with complex medical conditions and care needs. As an experienced nurse, you will use your entire accumulated competence and experience around the patient. Geriatric care is provided based on a clear structure specifically adapted to the older patient and their needs.
In geriatric care, teamwork is central, with both the multiprofessional team's collaboration and the patient's participation being important parts of care. Patients come to the Geriatric Acute Care Ward via referral from other hospital departments or through the emergency room. We also receive patients through direct admission from ambulance and the local care team.
Your Mission
In geriatrics, we work with renewed approaches to increase care quality by making the patient involved in their care and improving the work environment by ensuring the right person does the right tasks. This is an ongoing work that develops and is continuously evaluated, and here you have the chance to contribute with your knowledge and experience. As a nurse in geriatrics, you will have the opportunity to deepen your expertise in nursing and person-centered care, and you will also have the opportunity to receive additional assignments and drive improvement work during allocated time.
We have developed new areas of responsibility based on patient group needs. We have theme weeks with nursing focus, to share knowledge and experiences, etc. We are proud of our employee and management group that places nursing high and through clear but open leadership allows everyone to share their opinion and contribute to the department's development. Together, we create a workplace where people thrive and feel proud.
