ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

Organisation

The Department is the only exclusively respiratory department in the Capital Region of Copenhagen. It has an in-patient ward consisting of 40 beds, of which 4 are designated to patients in need of intermediate care. We receive a total of 3600 in-patients per year. The department also has an out-patient clinic with approximately 20.000 visits per year, half of which are in our dedicated specialist out-patient clinic, the other half in our clinic for investigating pulmonary cancer. In all, there are 160 employees, including 18 consultants. We are proud to have a good working atmosphere characterized by mutual respect and close cooperation between different professional groups as well as areas of function.

As most of our in-patients are acutely hospitalized, the department is a significant collaboration partner within the area of emergency medicine, and the hospital is one of four acute hospitals in the Capital Region of Denmark.

The next few years will include considerable development work in the area of infectious medicine, an area that will be based in the respiratory department.

Clinical functions and focus areas of the department

The department handles a wide range of patients with respiratory diseases including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung diseases, allergy, patients with lung infiltrates, patients with need for pulmonary rehabilitation and many other aspects of pulmonary medicine. The department has a leading position both nationally and internationally with regards to the diagnosis and treatment of asthma, in particular in elite athletes. Further, the department covers a wide range of invasive pulmonary procedures in patients suspected of lung cancer including bronchoscopy, transthoracic needle aspiration lung biopsy, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), ENB and esophageal ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA).

The area of infectious medicine is developing.

Research and teaching

With the new position as consultant in Internal medicine: Respiratory medicine and clinical professorship in Internal medicine: Respiratory medicine the Department of Respiratory medicine wishes to strengthen leadership in clinical research and teaching.

The department has a longstanding leading position in scientific research and education at a high international level. This applies to both the focus areas mentioned and in other connections.
