The Central Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy is organizationally affiliated with the Department of Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists, and there is opportunity for professional sparring and development with the neurological and orthopedic surgical physiotherapists and occupational therapists.

CT is characterized by a high professional level, where colleagues support each other in daily work, and where there is also room for humor and an informal tone. Space and opportunity for professional development are highly valued, just as there is a continuous focus on the work environment and well-being.

North Zealand Hospital is one of the four large acute hospitals in the Capital Region and offers treatment at the hospitals in Hillerød and Frederikssund as well as in the Health House in Helsingør. Our core task is to offer patients the best and most effective treatment, where the patient’s needs guide the efforts.
