We are seeking a licensed midwife for our operations at Östra Hospital in Göteborg. Here you will meet a work team where midwives, doctors, nursing assistants, and nurses work closely together. As a midwife, you play a central role in the care of the laboring person, the family, and the newborn. The work is independent, varied, and stimulating – with teamwork, patient safety, and person-centered care in focus. In this research-focused role, you will have the opportunity to combine your clinical expertise with research, development, and knowledge exchange.

This study will investigate the value of adding another type of measurement that measures cervical firmness.

Our team consists of doctors, midwives, preclinical researchers, and nursing assistants.

In two years, we will move into a completely new care building where obstetrics, postpartum care, neonatal care, research, and development are brought together under one roof. Here we create conditions for cohesive care pathways and modern care with family participation in focus.
