Outside world and market

Locum’s geographic market is Stockholm County. Just over 20 per cent of Sweden’s population live here. Every year, 25,000-30,000 new inhabitants move to Greater Stockholm which requires the continuous development of infrastructure and the adaptation of the healthcare services for future requirements.

Locum’s development is dependent on a number of well-defined factors, of which the healthcare, healthcare needs and healthcare structure are the most important.

Without doubt, the largest cost item for Stockholm County Council is health and medical care. The tax-financed healthcare services have a budget of SEK 51 billion for 2011. The second major cost item is public transport.

New structure
Healthcare is becoming more process-oriented, and old structures are being broken down. Better cooperation between primary care, emergency care and highly specialised care shortens the waiting periods for patients and improves the availability. The costs for the highly specialised care are increasing at the same time, which results in demands for both concentration of the expertise and geographic concentration.

Eventually this development will result in qualitatively better care, but patients will also have to travel further to gain access to specialist expertise, which will be available primarily at regional hospitals and university clinics. Spreading knowledge of new methods and methods to the primary care level, which is the natural entrance level with regard to diagnosis and treatment, is a prerequisite for making the healthcare chain as efficient as possible.

Major investment needs
To obtain the best possible healthcare from the capital and resources employed the County Council must take an integrated approach with regard to capacity and investments. The properties are important instruments in healthcare and hospitals shall be part of a future integrated structure in which each unit has a defined role. For Locum this means an active role as property manager and developer.

The emergency care hospitals in Greater Stockholm were constructed primarily during the period from 1940 to 1970, when the nature of healthcare was completely different from today. The rapid development of medical technology in combination with stricter hygiene and working environment standards, has led to a substantial need for improvements, modernisation and new buildings. The overall investment needs for emergency care hospitals is estimated to be SEK 5-7 billion up until 2015. In addition, there is the new university hospital, which is to replace Karolinska University Hospital Solna, an investment of around SEK 14 billion at the 2007 price level.

The largest projects are new surgery facilities for Danderyd Hospital, Södersjukhuset Hospital and Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge. In addition, new emergency care facilities are under planning for Danderyd Hospital and Södersjukhuset Hospital. In all these instances the projects involve new construction at the respective hospital areas. In addition a new forensic psychiatric clinic will be built in conjunction with the hospital in Huddinge.

With regard to new operation facilities the County Council is taking an overall approach. Stockholm County Council and Locum have created concept programmes for new builds within Stockholm County Council. The aim is to standardise the premises, equipment and logistics. Our ambition is accordingly to achieve the best possible functionality, keep costs down and facilitate the transfer of personnel between the various units.These programmes are now being used to plan new emergency wards and operating theatres at hospitals including Södersjukhuset Hospital, the Huddinge Hospital complex and Danderyds Hospital.
