Consultancy at The Emergency Department (Akutmodtagelsen), Amager and Hvidovre Hospital combined with a Clinical Professorship in Emergency Medicine
A clinical position as consultant in a clinical relevant specialty at Emergency
Department at Amager and Hvidovre Hospital is open for appointment as soon as
possible. The position is combined with a 5-year externally funded position as Clinical
Professor in Emergency Medicine at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences,
University of Copenhagen.
With this new position, the Emergency Department, Amager and Hvidovre
Hospital wishes to strengthen the leadership in clinical research and teaching
in acute medicine in collaboration with the University of Copenhagen. It is a
requirement that the applicant is accepted for appointment of both the
professorship and the consultancy.
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
Organisation
It is a
requirement that the applicant is accepted for appointment of both the
professorship and the consultancy.
Emergency
Medicine is a new medical speciality in Denmark and we wish that applicants
have a strong commitment to this new speciality in order to give academic and
clinical development in the field. Therefore, applicants must be board
certified in the speciality Emergency Medicine or have intensions to achieve
this board certification within at reasonable time frame.
The professorship is funded by a grant from
TrygFonden.
Hvidovre Hospital (HVH) is one of The Capital Region
of Denmark’s 4 new emergency hospitals. Our uptake area covers approximately 520,000
capita which is the largest in the country. In order to accommodate the
planning area now and in the future to come; Hvidovre including Amager and
Glostrup Hospital are in the middle of an organizational transformation toward
“New Amager and Hvidovre Hospital” (NAHH).
The combined appointment is an excellent opportunity
for the right person with the drive to transform the way we act, identify,
treat and secure triage and patient pathways in the Emergency Department, in
collaboration with the rest of the Hospital and the Healthcare system. The introduction
of a brand-new wing at our hospital in late 2020 will be an organizational challenge
and at the same time a once in a lifetime opportunity to get a long-awaited
impact on our highly specialized hospital system alongside the implementation
of a new specialty within acute medicine.
The Emergency Department at HVH has a vital and
central role in NAHH. It will become the entrance point of almost all acute
patients admitted to HVH. This calls for a new organization and an even closer
collaboration with all departments at the hospital. Our strategy is aligned
with the recommendations of the Danish Health Authorities stating that all
patients should start relevant treatment within a maximum of 30 minutes and
should have a tentative treatment plan drawn up by or approved by a consultant
within 4 hours of arrival. It is a corner stone in
our strategy to employ our own consultants which are part of the team of
physicians on call 24/7/365. Our approach will set new standards for treatment,
research and training and education to secure the highest possible quality of treatment
and care.
Clinical functions and
focus areas of the department
Presently we are 12 consultants of which 6 will be board
certified in emergency medicine by next year and 2 specialty
registrars employed at the emergency department. We have an extensive training
program with currently 4 physicians in introduction positions to acute medicine
and will have further 2 physicians in specialty training-positions for acute
medicine starting in December 2019. We participate in a national network with
other emergency departments to develop a series of master classes for our
consultants and specialty registrars.
Research has a high priority in our department. We
employ a part time professor in Infectious Disease with special focus on
biomarkers in acute medicine together with Clinical Research Centre at Amager and
Hvidovre Hospital. The collaboration has resulted in a multiprofessional, cross-sectoral
research environment with a solid and embedded infrastructure for clinical
research with acute patients. The vision is to reinforce quality of treatment
and care for the acute and often multimorbid patients with a history of
polypharmacy. In addition, we have one post.doc nurse and one consultant with a
part time research position. Our young physicians are offered time for research
and an opportunity to start a PhD. Altogether we present a strong research platform
with programs on patient involvement, multidisciplinary interventions,
implementation science and others to support the activities of a new consultant
and clinical professor in acute medicine.
