Full-time nurse wanted for the cancer clinic in Køge

Cancer Diseases Clinic Køge is a part of Cancer Diseases and Palliative Care at Zealand University Hospital. The clinic treats patients from across Region Zealand with colon-rectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, as well as patients from the northern part of the region with lung cancer. We have about 15,000 visits annually to doctors and nurses, so our daily work is characterized by close interdisciplinary collaboration.

We have many independent nurse consultations both in person and by telephone.

We opened a satellite at Holbæk Hospital in May, where we offer patients in the local area close-to-home treatment every Tuesday and Thursday.

The clinic actively participates in research projects and has a close collaboration with our clinical research unit.

We place emphasis on good cooperation across professional groups, as well as with our inpatient ward and day hospital.

We are 19 nurses who, in consultation with the doctors, treat patients in all phases of the disease course. Treatments primarily include medical treatment with curative or palliative intent.

We educate nursing students who are also an important part of everyday life in the outpatient clinic.
