Doctors for health and care positions at Midt- and West Zealand Hospital

Do you want to be part of the start in a new and unique field of citizen-centered care?

We are seeking doctors with permission to work independently for the daily medical function at the health and care sites in Slagelse, Næstved, Ringsted and Sorø. As a doctor at SOP you will meet patients with complex and multifaceted needs and become part of a close multidisciplinary collaboration.

It is a new clinical area of work with short lines of collaboration and great professional variation. You work under the responsible consultant physician's medical responsibility and supervision. Your tasks and the degree of independence are adapted to your competencies and experience.

Citizen-centered care in practice At SOP the regional medical function performs daily oversight and ongoing adjustments of the treatment plan, while the patient remains under regional medical treatment responsibility. Upon discharge from SOP, a clear and safe medical handover to the patient’s regular general practitioner is ensured. It requires broad clinical thinking and an eye for both disease, functional ability and the patient’s overall situation.

Your tasks The daily medical function is primarily carried out with physical presence at SOP. The specific attachment may include one or more health and care sites and is planned according to the overall organization and staffing.

• assess new patients and develop an overall plan for the stay
• carry out planned and acute clinical assessments and monitor the effect of treatment
• review medications and monitor relevant test results and clinical observations
• assess deterioration and decide on continued treatment at SOP, confer or transfer
• involve patient and relatives and ensure clear agreements about level of treatment and the way forward
• contribute to secure documentation and handover at the end of the stay

Interdisciplinarity every day You work closely with nurses, social and health care assistants, therapists and center management. Staff observations are an important part of your clinical decision-making base, and you must be able to translate your assessments into clear joint plans. The interdisciplinary collaboration is part of the treatment itself.

Who are we looking for You have Danish authorization and permission to work independently. Maybe you are between jobs, or maybe you just want to try something new.

Experience from general practice, geriatrics, internal medicine, emergency medicine, neurology, psychiatry, rehabilitation or municipal health services can be relevant. We especially value clinical judgment, curiosity and collaboration. You must have the right mindset to work in a new function where not all workflows are completed in advance, and a desire to meet patients with several simultaneous problems.

Supervision and professional development You will receive ongoing professional sparring and supervision from the responsible chief physician. There must be clear boundaries for which tasks you perform independently and when you confer. The boundaries are agreed based on your competencies and experience.

You contribute to daily professional learning through sparring and joint assessments. The responsible chief physician is responsible for the medical framework, supervision and more structured competence development.

What we offer

• a permanent position full-time or part-time in a new, unique and meaningful clinical area
• broad clinic with possibilities for continuity and follow-up on the patient’s development
• close collaboration with experienced staff at SOP and ongoing supervision by the responsible chief physician
• a medical professional community around the SOP function and the opportunity to gain experience across multiple health and care sites
