Our Operations
On hematology ward 101A, we care for patients with blood diseases, such as leukemias and myeloma. We provide highly specialized care with a focus on both medical quality and patient-centered nursing.
We take care of patients throughout the entire care process – from investigation to intensive treatment and, for some patients, stem cell transplantation or CAR T-cell therapy. Stem cell transplantation is one of our specialist areas and we are accredited according to the European quality assurance standard JACIE.
The work is varied and medically advanced. You work with, among other things, central lines, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, anti-infection medications, and transfusions of blood products. It also includes monitoring and assessment of patients in connection with advanced treatments.
At the same time, nursing care is a central part of the work. We support patients and their families throughout the care process. Many treatments last for several weeks and recur over time, which means we get to know our patients well and follow them through much of their treatment journey.
We work in multidisciplinary teams where nurses, nurse assistants, doctors, and other professions collaborate closely. Thanks to specialized care, we have high nurse staffing levels and you will have an experienced nurse as your mentor during your first year.
JACIE accreditation means that we work systematically with clear procedures and checklists for all tasks. This creates security for you as a nurse, contributes to safe care for patients, and gives us good conditions to continuously develop and improve our operations.

• Take responsibility for nursing and treatment of patients with hematological diseases.
• Administer chemotherapy, blood products, and other advanced treatments.
