REGION VÄSTERBOTTEN · Vollzeit

Umeå, Schweden

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and for research and innovation to deliver results. At the Acute Clinic in Umeå, we meet patients with acute illnesses and injuries who need rapid medical assessment, prioritization, and care, 24 hours a day. We receive approximately 47,000 patients annually with varying care needs. The work is conducted in multiprofessional teams where nurses, nursing assistants, and medical secretaries collaborate with emergency physicians and doctors from various specialties to provide safe and cohesive care. New this year is that we have opened a primary care urgent clinic under the acute clinic's management. Through this, we have developed workflows and working methods to streamline the handling of primary care patients with acute problems. The goal is to create conditions for care in the right way, at the right place, and at the right time. Within the clinic's administrative section works a dedicated team of currently eight medical secretaries, including one section leader and one department manager. For us, a good work environment, an open and permissive workplace culture, and having fun at work are important. At our clinic, we constantly develop our working methods, and the secretarial team is a natural part of this work.
