Doctor in an introductory position at the Department of Children and Adolescents at Zealand University Hospital, Nykøbing F.

At the Department of Children and Young People at Zealand University Hospital, Nykøbing F., there is an introductory position available to be filled as of 01.01.27.

About the Department of Children and Young People

The department is a broad pediatric department, where you as a junior doctor will be introduced to broad pediatrics and neonatology, including the acute functions in reception and on the maternity ward. We focus on creating a safe learning environment with close supervision, interdisciplinary simulation training and the presence of on-call duty around the clock.

The department focuses on

• High professional quality
• Good patient pathways
• Good education and professional development
• A good collegial community and interprofessional collaboration.

The department consists of a general pediatric ward, which also houses the pediatric emergency department and 4 neonatal beds, as well as the Children and Young People, Clinic. An exciting part of the work in Nykøbing Falster is in the area of social pediatrics.

The catchment area is generally socially disadvantaged and includes several residential homes and institutions for children and young people, which means you will meet patients in need of holistic and multidisciplinary treatment. You will have the opportunity to work across disciplines, and you will have the opportunity to develop both your medical and communicative competencies. Here you gain a unique experience with the social aspect of pediatrics.

The Department of Children and Young People in Nykøbing F. has merged with the corresponding department in Roskilde, and part of the function for junior doctors will be located in Roskilde. This concerns especially introduction days with teaching in pediatrics as well as clinical work in subspecialty clinics and in the specialized neonatology. The function at both sites will thus help ensure you gain good experience and competencies within both the broad and more specialized parts of pediatrics.

The department in Roskilde consists of a pediatric intake with 24/7 function, a general pediatric ward, a neonatal unit with 12 beds, and a large Children and Young People Clinic. In Roskilde there is a highly specialized function within inflammatory bowel diseases as well as regional functions in gastroenterology, neonatology, pediatric neurology, infectious pediatrics and hematology. The department also houses the regional Palliative Team for children and young people.
