Everyone who lives in Norrbotten is free to choose a care centre. This is known as making a care choice.

To what kind of care does the care choice apply?

The care centre you choose is the one you will normally visit. This applies to all contact with the care service, for example:

• Taking samples
• Visits to the doctor
• Maternal health care
• Child health care
• Visits to the district nurse

The choice of care does not involve any change when you visit a hospital, private doctor or private physiotherapist.

Make a care choice

We recommend that you make a care choice. It is easy. You simply contact the care centre at which you want to be registered. Private care centres follow the same rules as the County Council. You also pay the same charges at all the care centres in Norrbotten. 

If you do not make an active care choice you will be registered at the care centre closest to your home address. Alternatively, you can make your care choice via the e-service My Care Contacts. N.B. This service is only available in Swedish.
