You will become an active part of the ongoing various activities we offer as part of the ward's environmental-therapeutic offerings and the coercion-prevention efforts.

Who are we on Ward 2422?

We tailor your introduction according to your wishes, competences and experience, and ensure you get a good introduction to the patient group, ward processes and workflows and your new colleagues.

From the first day of work you will be attached to our mentoring scheme, so you continuously have someone to discuss everything from systems and workflows to patient- and treatment challenges with. In addition, we will introduce you to the ward's framework, including Recovery, Safewards and cognitive behavioral therapy.

If you are willing and excited to participate in supporting our multidisciplinary treatment offerings, we are ready to warmly welcome you.
