Biomedical Laboratory Scientist, nurse or other health care professional sought for donor phlebotomy at Køge Hospital.

PLASMA DONATION IN KØGE

As a consequence of the increasing need for plasma for the production of medicines, the production of plasma in Denmark can no longer meet the needs with the current effort. To ensure future security of supply in Denmark, Danish Regions has decided that all regions must expand the capacity for tapping blood plasma. For Region Zealand this means that the current plasma collection of about 16 tons must be increased to about 40 tons over the coming years.

We therefore need another new colleague.

A permanent position of 32-37 hours per week is available, to be filled on 1 January 2027 or by agreement.
