Our Operations

We are a research-intensive clinic with close collaboration with Uppsala University, where education and continuous professional development are an integral part of our work – all so that you as an employee feel secure and have the opportunity to grow in your professional role.
On surgical unit 70D, we work with highly specialized care in colorectal, endocrine, and acute surgery. Our patients come to us for both planned (elective) and emergency operations. We are proud to be one of four hospitals in the country authorized to provide nationally highly specialized care (NHV) with HIPEC, for patients with metastatic peritoneal cancer and endocrine abdominal tumors. Patients from the acute sector come with acute conditions requiring surgical treatment. Common diagnoses include cholecystitis, pancreatitis, ileus, or gastrointestinal bleeding, as well as trauma from falls, traffic accidents, and more. Patients are admitted through the emergency department or as direct admissions from other hospitals. The combination of elective and acute surgery creates a dynamic and educational work environment where no two days are the same.
Your Role
As a nurse on 70D, you will have the opportunity to work in a competent and dedicated team consisting of nurses, nursing assistants, physicians, pharmacists, and other health professionals.

As new to the role, you will work with advanced surgical care under clinical mentoring from experienced colleagues. You will gain broad foundational competence in surgery and acute care while also having the opportunity to develop within a specific area.

Region Uppsala wartime places all permanent staff based on total defense needs. This means for the individual employee no obligations in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.
Before a decision on employment, a check of suspicion and burden registers is conducted for all job seekers who in the sought position may come to work within psychiatric care, rehabilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care for substance abusers, areas covered by optional register excerpts. This thus applies to all who will work directly with patients, even if the work tasks at present are not intended to mainly involve work with the above-mentioned patient groups.
This recruitment takes place entirely at the expense of Region Uppsala and we decline telephone calls from recruitment companies and advertising sales representatives.Department of Surgery and Urology
