Οικογενειακός Ιατρός στην Σουηδία

A Family Doctor’s work at public Health Care Centres in Sweden includes tasks that require a deep and broad knowledge of diagnostics and treatment regarding health problems at all ages. Swedish patients expect participation and information to a great extent and their expectations are confirmed by Swedish legislation.
An average Family Doctor’s work includes giving priority on the basis of medical urgency, switching between short acute visits, longer consultations, home visits, and monitoring over a long period of time an individual’s various health problems as well as assessing and taking into account the person’s entire living situation.
At public Health Care Centres in general there are usually equipment for minor surgery and various types of examinations. Interdisciplinary teams are established to manage chronic diseases like diabetes, asthma, COPD, dementia, etc., which enable the team- members to deepen their knowledge to the benefit of their patients. The work also includes basic child and maternal health care, preventive and rehabilitative work and administrative duties. Training and supervision of medical students, at all educational levels, is also an important and much rewarding task.
As a Family Doctor at Region Skåne you are encouraged to conduct own research as well as to participate in cutting-edge research projects at Center for Primary Health Care Research (CPF), the largest and most productive family and community medicine department in Europe.
