Surgical Clinic, Värnamo Hospital We're opening a door for a new nurse/ostomy specialist to join our team at Värnamo Hospital—if you want to provide safety, support, and specialized care to people experiencing a changed life situation. With us, you'll have independent and meaningful work where you follow patients throughout the entire care chain—from preoperative information to long-term follow-up—in an environment characterized by warmth and strong team spirit. The Role of Nurse/Ostomy Specialist At the surgical clinic/endoscopy clinic, we examine and treat patients in upper/lower gastroenterology, general surgery, abdominal and chest plastic surgery, and endocrinology. You will work with both inpatients and outpatient visits. At the ostomy clinic, you'll work alongside a colleague, and you'll also assist at the surgical clinic. Beyond clinical work, our ostomy services also conduct: • Patient and family education • Staff training and development • Continuous improvement and development work This gives you varied work with great opportunities for both professional and personal development. Your Future Workplace The surgical clinic/endoscopy unit is a clinic at Värnamo Hospital. Here, nurses, nursing assistants, care administrators, and physicians work in close collaboration. At our surgical clinic, we perform minor surgical procedures such as removal of skin lesions, biopsies, and smears. At the ostomy clinic, we have outpatient visits before and after surgery, as well as good collaboration with our two surgical wards where our patients receive inpatient care. The clinic is also responsible for endoscopic activities, which means collaboration with both the surgical and medical clinics.
