Two new quality consultants for the regional patient safety team

The regional patient safety team is seeking two new colleagues with a health-care background

We are passionate about patient safety, and we work at regional and cross-regional level to ensure good and coherent patient pathways across sectors. We love to draw learning from it and translate it so that knowledge sharing is ensured broadly in the organisation. And we know that the foundation for good (co)working is structure, systematic thinking and strong competences - both professionally and in terms of relationships.

If you recognise yourself in this, this may be you who should be one of our two new colleagues in the regional patient safety team.

Common to the two positions we dream of having good colleagues with the following competences and experiences:

• A health-care background combined with relevant academic study at master's or candidate level, preferably public health
• Experience from clinical work in hospital and/or general practice
• Experience from patient safety work and other quality work – preferably as an improvement facilitator/agent
• Organisational understanding of the health care system
• Ability to navigate bureaucracy and understanding of working in a politically led system
• Technical flair regarding the use of various systems, e.g. DPSD, e-Dok and ESDH
• Ability to work in a structured way, maintaining an overview while also having an eye for detail
• Willingness and ability to undertake important and ongoing operational tasks – and see development opportunities within these
• That you thrive with both independent work and collaboration with colleagues
• That you can handle pace changes and unplanned tasks that ‘clear the table’
• That you communicate clearly and unambiguously both in writing and orally, targeted at the recipient
• And that you see mutual coaching and feedback as developing and necessary

About our approach to task solving and the tasks we need to solve

The regional patient safety team is anchored in Office 1 in the Quality Directorate, where we generally want to solve tasks across teams and professional groups. We value being able to lift as a group and thus ensure robustness and agility in handling tasks – so that we can also jointly address urgent or larger tasks with the best possible result. The task portfolio reflects this, and we have therefore not fixed the exact profile and content of the individual positions.

It is important for us to get the right colleagues to the team and the office, and the concrete task profile will therefore be determined based on the individual candidates and the development of tasks.

Common to both positions is, however, the operation of the UTH database , which must be handled daily in a fixed rotation with colleagues. The task for the practice area is to process the incoming reported adverse events and convey learning from them. And in the hospital area, one must triage cases received at the regional level to the hospitals and advise and guide case handlers on doubtful issues.

There will also be the following tasks to be solved

• The secure daily operation of e-Dok guidelines at regional level; including as editor, quality- and audit-responsible. This task is done in a team in collaboration with two colleagues, and you will daily have contact with many staff and managers in the region
• An exciting operating task with many collaborators regarding progress, updates and maintenance of regional care pathways descriptions between hospital and general practice
• Secretarial support /coordinator role with responsibility for case clarification, agenda production, minutes, and follow-up on decisions for various meeting forums, including the PKO coordination group and the cross-cutting quality network for psychiatry
• Case handling of inquiries from among others politicians, citizens and other authorities, as well as preparation of notes, briefs etc.
• Ad hoc and longer-term tasks depending on competences and the organisation's needs , for example administrative and professional assistance regarding complicated and/or patient-critical cases at regional level.

A little more about us

The regional patient safety team was established on 1 January 2026 with reference to Office Manager Maria Benner, and consists of four – soon six – quality consultants/risk managers from practice and hospital settings who work at regional, cross-regional and cross-sectoral levels. With the shared organisation we have strengthened sparring, knowledge sharing and the ability to quickly pool relevant competences across sectors for concrete patient safety challenges.

At present, we are very focused on how the patient safety perspective can be thought in earlier in the development of new workflows, guidelines and IT solutions, and how the cross-sector collaboration can be strengthened even further.

Everyone in the regional patient safety team works on tasks that are not narrowly related to patient safety, and each member participates in several task teams across both Office 1 and the Quality Directorate.

The Quality Directorate consists of staff, research and development functions and works to develop and support quality and research across the entire region. We have a strong professional and social community with helpful and engaged colleagues. And we maintain a focus on development, collaboration, knowledge sharing and well-being. Together we ensure a proper and honest tone, a proactive approach to task solving and a good mood.
