Chief Physician for the Abdominal Team at SUH Køge

Our department is growing, and we are seeking an engaged chief physician for our abdominal team, a radiologist with broad competencies in abdominal CT and MR, and preferably UL.

We offer an exciting and versatile job as a chief physician in our abdominal team here in Køge. We are in the process of establishing an abd o-uro team across the Køge/Roskilde sites, where we already work closely with our six uro-radiologists from Roskilde. Several in the team work at both sites. We are also in the process of establishing a thorax-oncology team and a neuro-MSK team, both currently distributed across Roskilde and Køge.

We are moving everyone to new facilities here in Køge in January 2028, and we are in the process of purchasing new CT and MR scanners, so that by 2028 we will have a total of 12 MR scanners, 9 CT scanners (including 3 PCCT) and 6 UL scanners. We are seeking a chief physician who will contribute to this exciting development. Our abdominal team currently consists of five chief physicians and two consultants, as well as three new consultants at the start of 2027.

We hold surgical conferences on all weekdays, as well as an intensive care conference. We hold colorectal and IBD MDT conferences twice and once per week. We cover abdominal MR for Køge, Roskilde and Nykøbing F.

We have a very good educational environment for our interns and HU doctors, which you naturally will contribute to as well. We help and support one another, both consultants and chiefs. The chiefs are partly sub-specialized, but all contribute to handling both acute and elective tasks in our abdominal team. Not to mention supervision. We place high value on flexibility and the ability to collaborate.

SUH Køge is a house in development and undergoing constant changes. At the beginning of October this year, the oncological and hematological departments moved from Roskilde and Næstved here to Køge. And in January 2028, several departments from Roskilde and Næstved will move to Køge, including urology, gynecology, cardiology and neurology.

We have a 24/7 on-call system with presence in Køge, covering acute work for Køge and Roskilde, excluding thrombolysis, etc. Our on-call team includes HU doctors, consultants and a single chief physician. In principle, the position is without this type of on-call presence, but it can be agreed upon as needed. Several of our HU doctors have an on-call backup, handled from home by consultants and chiefs; you would typically be required to participate in this on-call type.

You will be employed at SUH with primary workplace in Køge.

Our department was merged in January 2022 with the other radiology departments in Region Sjælland (Region Zealand) with a shared management. Since then we have had unified CT and MR protocols across the entire region.

Hope the above sounds exciting. Salary and employment conditions in accordance with the applicable collective agreement and starting date by agreement. Applications are preferred to be prepared in accordance with the Health Authority's description of the seven physician roles.
