Profile
Specialist in general surgery at Värnamo Hospital, with a clinical focus on colorectal surgery, ERCP and thyroid surgery. Chair of the hospital's local trauma committee and the Swedish Medical Association's union representative at the clinic. I have kept general practice alongside surgery since 2018, as a locum at primary care centres from Lessebo to Kiruna. Engaged in patient safety, quality and e-health since medical school: regional process lead for the standardised care pathway for oesophageal and gastric cancer, and a former STRAMA representative. Outside the clinic I build tools that make healthcare, and my own work, easier to keep in order.
