About Psychiatric Ward 2711 as a workplace

Ward 2711 has room for 16 patients. They are 18 years and older. We receive patients from different wards in Hillerød who need longer observation, stabilization, treatment plans and a good plan after discharge.

Here we handle a variety of psychiatric diagnoses, as well as dual diagnoses, adjustment reactions, etc. Psychiatrists, social workers, physiotherapists and contact persons cooperate in a multidisciplinary team on treatment, care and discharge until the patient is ready for release.

The patient’s admission is planned based on cognitive environmental therapy and conversations, where the patient is supported to gain insight and mastery of their own thoughts, feelings, body and actions. Based on individual needs we focus on close collaboration with relatives, professional network and authorities to ensure the patient returns as well as possible to everyday life.
