Orthopedic wards, Tyks Orto Surgical hospital

Depending on your visit an outpatient visit fee or a daily inpatient fee will be charged. See client fees.

The ward rooms on floor 3 and 4 are for 1–4 patients. The rooms have a toilet, shower and television set. The enhanced monitoring ward has room for 6 patients.

As a student at our department you will be able to train and integrate your know-how related to specific patient care situations. You will have the opportunity to work with ward and outpatient clinic patients as well as with patients undergoing postoperative monitoring.

We’ll appoint a mentor for you whose skills and experience you will benefit from. With your mentor you will be able to observe and manage patients before and after surgery and at the time of their discharge. It is our wish and recommendation that you plan your schedule so that you have as many shifts together with your mentor as possible.
