ABOUT THE DEPARTMENTS

The department has 6 bed units with a total of 78 beds, an emergency unit with 22 beds, and several outpatient clinics, community mental health services, outreach services, and specialized treatment units. It has comprehensive pre- and post-graduate teaching obligations concerning medical students, doctors, and other health professionals and faculty also has teaching and research obligations at the University of Copenhagen. The department is organized with a team management for each ward and outpatient department, comprising a lead nurse and a consultant.

Opened in 2013, Clinical Pharmacology Unit is obliged to support and promote rational pharmacology in Region Zealand. It is a university unit led by a chief physician and has teaching and research obligations at the University of Copenhagen. The Unit runs both a drug line and an ADR-management service. It provides professional support to the regional drug committee, and participates in pre- and post-graduate teaching of medical students, doctors, and other health professionals. The unit is engaged in regional and national boards and working parties, including the Danish Medicines Council.

Currently located in Roskilde, the unit will soon be relocated to the new hospital, which is under construction in the province city Køge. 

Research and teaching

Psychiatric research in Region Zealand is organized in a central Psychiatric Research Unit and local Research Units at most Departments. Research collaboration across departments is extensive, the researchers being united in fast growing research networks around three main themes: “Body & Mind”; Psychotherapy & Psychopathology” and “Implementation and User Participation”. Psychiatry West as partner in Steno Diabetes Center Zealand makes a strong research contribution to the “Body & Mind” network, and it is expected that the successful candidate will contribute substantially to the ongoing research and take leadership of this interdisciplinary research network. In total, Psychiatry Region Zealand employs more than 20 Phd-students, three post-docs, several senior researchers/associate professors, three UCPH professors and two SDU professors. Five Phd-students in Psychiatry West are engaged in the Body & Mind network. 

Research at Clinical Pharmacology Unit spans from basic science to clinical and epidemiological studies. Research focus on various aspects of rational drug use including dug utilisation, adverse drug events, medication errors, real life drug effectiveness, and pharmacogenomics.
