Acute Geriatric Observation Unit. Care for our vulnerable elderly patients at Södersjukhuset. Södersjukhuset opened a geriatric assessment unit (G-CDU, Geriatric Clinical Decision Unit) in fall 2025. Our focus includes a higher level of nursing care alongside ongoing investigations in a calmer environment than what is possible in the emergency department.
The G-CDU unit is part of the acute care flow and is organizationally placed within Internal Medicine. The unit receives patients across all somatic specialties, both from SÖS emergency department and directly from home, geriatrics, ASIH, or nursing and care facilities by agreement.
G-CDU is open from Sunday evening (21:00) to Friday afternoon (16:00). We offer rapid investigation and treatment and prepare patients for the next step. Within 12-24 hours, the patient should either be discharged home, transferred to another specialty within SöS, or to another healthcare provider. Close collaboration with care partners in the region will therefore be a large and important part of creating as efficient and fast a care pathway as possible.
Job Description
All patients are assessed and prioritized based on their symptoms and you are responsible for basic patient care. You become part of a team with nurses, nursing assistants, physicians, and medical secretaries. The work is varied, challenging, and stimulating and you meet a wide range of patients and patient diagnoses. The position also includes regular monitoring of vital parameters, nutritional needs, blood sampling, dressing changes, and ECG recordings. You assist with various examinations such as suturing, punctures, blood sampling, and more.
Qualifications
We are looking for someone with experience in direct patient care of patients with various medical conditions. You find it easy to prioritize and reprioritize your tasks, are prepared for the unexpected, contribute with humility, and have a positive attitude toward people in different situations.
