About the department

Organisation

The catchment area of Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital is approximately 450.000 inhabitants – the second largest in Denmark, covering the Inner City, Østerbro, Nørrebro and Nordvest. Patients in need of acute hospitalizations are presently admitted to either Bispebjerg or Frederiksberg Hospital. A multidisciplinary emergency unit with modern imaging, laboratory and treatment facilities is presently under planning and construction and is expected to open around 2030. The facility will provide one point of entry for all acutely ill patients and condensate acute care in designated areas across specialties.

The Department of Emergency Medicine has Four units at the hospital:

• The Emergency Department of Bispebjerg Hospital, open 24/7, where approx. 88.000 patients are admitted annually.
• The Acute Medical Center with approx. 25 beds where 12.000 patients with acute medical diseases are hospitalized for up to 48 hours.
• And at Frederiksberg Hospital the Acute Unit, opening hours 09.00-21.00 with annually around 35.000 patients with minor injuries and general medical diseases.
• A Flex Unit has been established recently. The Flex Unit is dedicated to improving the efforts for people who, in addition to somatic and/or mental illness, have a particular social vulnerability, for example due to substance abuse and/or homelessness. The Flex Unit is an innovative initiative and is experiencing great attention both among professionals and at the political level. The Unit is expanding continuously; the latest with a bed section later in 2025.

Clinical functions and focus areas of the department

The Department of Emergency Medicine collaborates with several other clinical specialities at the hospital (internal medicine, cardiology, neurology, surgery, orthopaedics, geriatrics, anaesthesiology) which in combination with assistance from laboratory and imaging specialties 24/7/365 ensures that acutely admitted patients are treated professionally and at a high level of quality.

At present the medical staff at the Department of Emergency Medicine employs a total of 40 doctors. And we are constantly expanding.

As the speciality of emergency medicine is set to develop and expand further in the coming years, this field is of primary interest and focus at the organizational hospital level. The department is expected to participate in the development of a joined, mutual, across-hospital acute care programme. A program that hopefully will develop and improve all aspects of acute care at the hospital.

With the new position as clinical professor of Emergency Medicine with special focus on Technology-driven Risk-stratification and Diagnostics, the Department of Emergency Medicine wishes to strengthen leadership in clinical research and teaching.
