Hospitals in the West is a division within the Västra Götaland Region and consists of four hospitals – Alingsås Hospital, Angered Local Hospital, Högsbo Local Hospital, and Kungälv Hospital. Approximately 3,000 employees work with us every day to provide good and safe specialist care of the highest quality.
We are seeking doctors to help us build our operations in Kungälv!
Emergency Medicine in Kungälv
Kungälv Hospital is a smaller hospital just north of Gothenburg that serves approximately 125,000 residents, largely from smaller coastal communities, and admits about 32,000 patients aged 16 and older per year within internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, and trauma.
Emergency Doctors in Kungälv
The emergency doctor initiative began in fall 2017 and as of fall 2026, we have seven specialist doctors and 13 ST doctors in emergency medicine working with us.
As an ST doctor, we follow SWESEM's training plan for emergency medicine and internal medicine training is conducted in collaboration with other hospitals in the Gothenburg region, including SÄS. This means that approximately half of the ST position consists of rotations, courses, and projects that take place both locally and regionally.
As a specialist, you have great opportunities to develop and build up the operations and participate in further training.
Job Duties
The position primarily involves working in the emergency department, during day, evening, and night shifts. Time for administration and education is scheduled, and a sustainable work environment is a main focus.
As a specialist, supervising ST doctors is part of your work. You are also expected to contribute to the development of working methods for the emergency doctor team.
Since spring 2026, we have started a mobile emergency doctor team (MALT) staffed by specialists in emergency medicine. MALT provides patient-centered emergency care at home for patients who benefit from avoiding hospital stays.
You must hold a Swedish medical license and have work experience within Swedish inpatient care.
We are also seeking individuals who wish to begin an ST in emergency medicine and become a specialist to have the opportunity to work with us.
Welcome with your application!
