Practical information

During your treatment at Skandionkliniken, you will regularly meet the clinic’s specialist physicians. There is always a doctor on site whenever the clinic is open, should an urgent need arise. When the clinic is closed, please contact Akademiska sjukhuset in case of emergency.

Special routines apply for pediatric patients. All children being treated at Skandionkliniken receive their medical care from physicians at the Academic Children’s Hospital, which is part of Akademiska Hospital in Uppsala. Every other week, children meet a doctor from the Children’s Hospital and every other week a doctor from Skandionkliniken.

Sometimes, waiting times may occur at the clinic. This can be due to a variety of reasons, such as unexpected changes in planned treatments, additional examinations, or technical issues. We will keep you informed about any delays.​

In our entrance area, next to the reception, you’ll find a play corner for children, newspapers, games, and puzzles. There is also a coffee machine and a vending machine with light snacks.

Family members and companions are welcome at Skandionkliniken. If possible, it is a good idea to bring someone with you to your admission meeting at Skandionkliniken. You will receive a lot of information during this meeting, and it can be helpful if two people listen and ask questions. If you want someone to accompany you at a treatment session, this can be arranged with the staff. During the actual treatment, companions should wait in the Entrance Square.

Children who are family members are also welcome at the clinic. We are happy to show your child the clinic and treatment room. Please speak to your nurse if you would like this arranged.

There are several reasons not to smoke during your course of radiotherapy. Skandionkliniken is a non-smoking area, both indoors and outdoors. If you would like help to quit smoking, please speak to a member of staff.

Right outside the entrance to Skandionkliniken there is a parking area where you may park free of charge. Please provide your car’s license plate number to the clinic reception when you arrive.

At Skandionkliniken, we safeguard patient confidentiality. According to regulations, we are required to protect the personal privacy of patients while they are at the clinic. If you wish to document your stay at Skandionkliniken, for example by taking photographs inside or outside the clinic, you may only do so if you have permission from the people you photograph. It is important that no one else appears in the photos without their consent. Filming is not allowed.
