About Regionsklinikken Skjern

The Regionsklinikken Skjern is operated today as a regional clinic with about 6,900 patients.

Regionsklinikken Skjern is operated by Region Midtjylland and is thus publicly run general practice. This means the clinic works within the framework and requirements that apply to a public organization, while daily clinical work and patient care largely resemble that known from general practice.

The clinic is centrally located in the town of Skjern, close to train and bus stations. There are modern clinic facilities with consultation rooms for both doctors and nurses, a laboratory, treatment rooms and a joint secretariat. In addition to doctors, the clinic is staffed with practice staff primarily consisting of nurses and social and health care assistants, a biomedical analyst, a physiotherapist and a psychologist.

Skjern is located in the middle of Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality close to fjord, nature and the North Sea. The area offers good opportunities for family life, leisure activities and settlement combined with short distances and a strong local community.

Here you have the opportunity to work in a modern clinic and at the same time enjoy the benefits of living close to nature.
