About Individtilsyn

The unit's task is to ensure that health professionals who work or want to work in the Danish health service are suitable and professionally competent to carry out their tasks in a patient-safety focused manner. We make decisions on supervision in cases where authorized health professionals endanger patient safety. We also handle other administrative-law tasks, such as providing guidance to other authorities, including police and the public prosecutor, ministerial duties and citizen inquiries.

In our supervision work we collaborate strongly with foreign supervisory authorities, particularly from the Nordic countries.

Our mission is to ensure a safe health service. The tasks at Individtilsyn are highly visible and current.

Individtilsyn consists of a legal and a health-science section. You will become part of the legal section.
