Make a difference. Every day. Hässleholm Hospital provides local healthcare with both inpatient and outpatient care within internal medicine specialties as well as rehabilitation medicine. Connected to the hospital is an emergency department with limited hours and an acute care unit. Additionally, Skåne's largest elective orthopedic operation is based here. Within the orthopedic operating area, there is an operating department, outpatient surgical clinic, post-operative recovery, anesthesia department, inpatient beds, and outpatient services. The operating area is expected to perform approximately 5,000 patient procedures in Hässleholm this year and aims to successively increase volume. The Future Orthopedics in Hässleholm (FORTH) project is underway, constructing a new hospital building with high-tech operating rooms. The operation has a focus on volume and research in prosthetic surgery of the knee and hip. Additionally, there is a large and highly specialized foot surgery section that includes advanced hindfoot surgery in addition to forefoot and midfoot surgery. The shoulder section handles all surgical operation types including advanced prosthetic surgery. The hand section has large patient volumes in outpatient hand surgery as well as clinical and research expertise for advanced hand surgery. The anesthesia section is fully integrated into the orthopedic operation and has great opportunities to clinically and scientifically develop the combination of general and regional anesthesia. For those interested in research, we have extensive clinical material suitable for research and are also a university healthcare unit (USV-unit) with active research, development, and innovation within our clinical focus areas. 1 position(s). JOB RESPONSIBILITIES We are seeking a dedicated anesthesiologist who wants to be part of our cohesive and well-staffed team. Our unit is characterized by good collegial relationships and high competence. The operating unit is expected to take on additional patient volumes in the coming years. Work methods and anesthesia techniques are continuously developed. We are flexible regarding employment terms: • You may be a colleague who needs a flexible schedule to balance your personal life. • You may be an experienced colleague who wants to transition from on-call work to less demanding on-call availability. • You may be a research-focused colleague who wants to drive projects with a homogeneous patient population. The role includes all aspects of the perioperative part of the operation and its processes. Your closest colleagues are, in addition to other anesthesiologists and anesthesia nurses, our orthopedic physicians with whom you work very closely. You have an important role in mentoring less experienced colleagues. There is an opportunity to participate in 24-hour on-call availability with approximately 30 minutes call-in time together with an anesthesia nurse who is on-call at the hospital. We want to advance and develop general total intravenous anesthesia combined with ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. Additionally, we should be involved in monitoring and caring for patients with organ dysfunction at the hospital in Hässleholm, including from an on-call perspective in situations related to widespread community disease transmission or situations with increased threat levels. Clinical development within a focused elective operation places new demands on anesthesiologists, where their role has evolved to flow manager and logistician. Within this area, the operation should become nationally prominent, both clinically and scientifically, and you as an anesthesiologist have an important and central significance. At Hässleholm Hospital, a high production pace is maintained and patients who are more complex and sometimes sicker than those treated by private providers are also operated on here. We are proud to be able to help this patient category. We place medical safety and work environment at the forefront of our operation.
