Head of Department in the Emergency Department, North Zealand Hospital – with a focus on education

Would you combine emergency medicine with a central role in educating the doctors of tomorrow?

We are seeking a specialist in emergency medicine for a department physician position with a desire to join our education team.

We are expanding the number of junior doctors, including KBU doctors, and are therefore strengthening the education team in the Emergency Department. We are looking for a colleague who wants to combine daily clinical work with supervision, teaching and development of a strong learning environment.

About the Emergency Department

The Emergency Department is the hospital's common entry for acute patients and among the country’s largest emergency departments. Each day we receive, examine and treat around 170 acute medical patients and about 100 patients in the casualty department .

We handle the initial assessment and treatment of a broad and complex patient population. A large part of the patients are completed and discharged directly from the department, while others are stabilised and referred to other hospital specialties.

In the run-up to the move to Nyt Nordsjællands Hospital we are working purposefully to develop a modern emergency department with strong clinical processes, high consultant presence and cohesive patient pathways.

Emergency medicine is also an active part of the citizen-centered health service in Plan Area North . We shall contribute to developing acute services closer to the citizen, and The Mobile Emergency Nursing Care is anchored in the Emergency Department . This provides new opportunities to create coherence between emergency medical assessment and treatment in the patient’s own home and the hospital’s acute functions.
