About the Acute Care Unit

The Acute Care Unit consists of an open emergency department and two intensive acute receiving wards. The two intensive acute receiving wards are well-run departments with 16 beds each and a dedicated multidisciplinary staff. The Acute Care Unit receives approximately 7,000 patients annually, of whom about 2,950 are admitted. About 70% are completed directly here, while the rest are transferred to longer-term treatment.

The emergency department has a special function as a reception for children and adolescents and works closely with pediatric and adolescent psychiatry.

With us, job satisfaction is high, and everyone contributes with their professional strengths to create the best treatment in collaboration with the patients. We have successfully halved the use of coercion and will continue this focus going forward.
