The Infectious Diseases Clinic is responsible for providing infectious disease nursing, teaching, research and development for all of Sahlgrenska.

The department consists of four care units and a large outpatient clinic with acute and planned care. Department 301 We are approximately 35 employees in the unit, distributed among nursing assistants, nurses, specialist nurses, clinical nurse specialists, doctors and unit manager. As a nurse, you will perform common tasks on an inpatient ward with patient admission around the clock. The work is varied as we care for patients aged 16 and older with a very diverse range of conditions. We have both patients requiring isolation care and patients who can share rooms. We have patients cared for for a couple of days and patients cared for over longer periods. The vast majority recover, are discharged and have only one care episode in our department, while others return repeatedly. Some patients who need follow-up after discharge are followed at the clinic's infectious disease outpatient clinic, and in this way we follow the patient from first to last visit. The department has a specialization in patients with tuberculosis. You will learn a great deal about contagious as well as non-contagious infectious diseases. We care for patients with common conditions such as pneumonia, sepsis, soft tissue infections, gastrointestinal and urinary tract infections, as well as patients with hepatitis, malaria, heart valve infections, skeletal and brain infections. You will become an expert in antibiotics, routes of transmission and healthcare hygiene, and you will meet patients from around the world. The introduction is individually tailored. We plan four weeks of shadowing with regular check-ins and provide time for reviews and training as well as clinic-wide introduction. You will receive support from a mentor during your first year, adapted as needed. About You You must be a licensed nurse. Experience in hospital care is meritorious.
