About the department

The Anesthesia Department is a department in growth, both in terms of clinical activity, increasing complexity due to ongoing return of highly specialized functions, education and not least research. Organizationally, the Anesthesia Department, SUH Roskilde, and the Anesthesia Department, SUH Køge, have had joint departmental leadership since March 2019 and we look forward to a merger, which will naturally bring new and unknown opportunities and initiatives.

The department is characterized by a good interdisciplinary collaboration. We work in a dynamic everyday life, both due to many acute patient pathways and due to larger and smaller changes that are a step in the hospital's development into a large university hospital that will accommodate the region's highly specialized treatments and bring together the related professional disciplines.

It is a large department with about 550 staff, of which about 85 are doctors. There is excellent collaboration within the medical group, which is flexible and looks for solutions and development opportunities. The department is distributed over 3 operating theatres, two day-surgery departments, two recovery units, two intensive care units and an interdisciplinary pain center.

Approximately 26,000 procedures per year are performed under anesthesia. In Køge procedures are performed within orthopaedic surgery, parenchymal surgery, plastic surgery, dento-maxillofacial surgery and ENT surgery. In Roskilde anesthesia is provided for procedures carried out by the urological, gynecological-obstetric, vascular, breast and plastic surgery departments. There are 9 beds in the intensive care unit in Køge and 6 beds in the intensive care unit in Roskilde.
