Workplace

The Anesthesiology-Intensive Care Department V is a cross-departmental clinical department with a high level of activity and, by virtue of this, has a very broad interface that includes all hospital departments. The clinical anesthesia wards cooperate with the surgical and other departments in connection with anesthetic and surgical tasks, while intensive care and recovery wards cooperate with all clinical departments at the hospital to a greater or lesser extent.

To ensure the best possible use of the anesthesiological specialty and expertise, the department is geographically and functionally divided into 2 main sections, clinical anesthesia/recovery area and the intensive care area. Over the next few years, there will be a move to the new OUH, which may also bring organizational changes.

The Anesthesiology-Intensive Care Department V consistently focuses on creating a good working environment and a workplace with room for professional development, scientific activity, and education. The Department V’s strategy The Whole Patient describes the department’s vision, goals, efforts and activities. In order to achieve the goals, the strategy defines building blocks and lifts patients, employees and partners. Everyone in Department V contributes to fulfilling the strategy.
