Nurse/Ophthalmic Nurse

The eye care department provides basic and, to some extent, highly specialized eye care for Gotland's approximately 60,000 residents. Operations are conducted in close collaboration with other surgical and medical specialties. Continuous efforts are made to further develop the department and thereby improve care for Gotland's population. We have approximately 13,000-14,000 visits per year where we provide outpatient services in general ophthalmology, cataract surgery, and eyelid surgery, as well as a medical retina clinic with injection services. The department has primary on-call responsibility during daytime hours and standby on-call duty part of weekends. Patients requiring highly specialized care are primarily referred to the eye clinics at St Erik's Eye Hospital or the Academic Hospital in Uppsala. We have regularly returning consultant physicians with specialized knowledge in pediatric ophthalmology, corneal diseases, cataract surgery, and plastic surgery, including surgery for tumors, eyelids, tear ducts, and strabismus. We have approximately 3-4 specialists per week and 1-2 resident physicians. Our staff includes roles such as ophthalmic nurse, nurse, nursing assistant, optician, and orthoptist. The clinic is well-equipped with, among other things, multispot laser, YAG laser, Humphrey perimetry, and OCT. As a nurse, you will gain both broad and deep expertise within your area of competence, as Visby Hospital, the island's only acute hospital, handles all eye patients on the island. Your Responsibilities The eye care department at Visby Hospital is a small and well-functioning workplace. You will have varying tasks with great opportunities to develop your personal abilities. We also work very much in teams when you assist with, for example, cataract surgeries, POL surgeries, injections, and when you perform preliminary examinations before doctor visits. Based on your experience and educational background, you will perform independent measurements and various eye examinations such as visual field testing, intraocular pressure measurement, fundus photography, and vision screening. Telephone consultation is also part of your responsibilities. It is of interest that after training you can perform eye injections, which is a large part of our operations and a delegated task. We work with the TakeCare medical records system and Topcon's and Haag Streit imaging systems. Who Are You? We are looking for you who are trained as an ophthalmic nurse or nurse with experience or a strong interest in working in eye care. You may also be an operating room nurse with an interest in ophthalmology and who is willing to perform some tasks outside the operating room. As a general nurse, experience from outpatient clinic work is an advantage. We consider it self-evident that you have the ability and willingness to help develop the department and that you gladly contribute new ideas. In your interactions with patients, you are trustworthy and empathetic. You have good collaboration skills, are attentive, and have the ability to adjust your approach and demeanor based on the individual and situation. Great weight is placed on personal suitability. Before an employment decision is made, a background check is conducted through an extract from the criminal records register. Why Choose Region Gotland?
