About the department

The Department of Cardiology handles approximately 7,000 admissions and facilitates around 17,000 outpatient visits annually, serving a population of approximately 350,000 citizens. Currently, cardiology services are distributed across Copenhagen University Hospital – North Zealand in Hilleroed and Frederikssund, as well as in ‘Sundhedshuset’ in Helsingor. The upcoming consolidation of activities is projected to take place at the new Copenhagen University Hospital – North Zealand, (NNH) in Hilleroed by 2026, with outpatient services continuing in health centers in Frederikssund and Helsingor.

The department plays a crucial role in emergency care, particularly at the chest pain clinic within the emergency department in Hillerød. Additionally, two sizable wards are operational at Hilleroed and Frederikssund Hospitals. Outpatient services are effectively managed across three locations.

Hilleroed hosts an invasive function specializing in the implantation and monitoring of pacemakers. A highly specialized imaging group, focusing on echocardiography and Cardiac CT, collaborates on PET CT scans with the Clinical Physiology Department. The department ensures access to cardiac CT services five days a week, supported by a dedicated CT scanner on-site.

Notably, a rapidly expanding research unit is centered around a full-time professor, several part-time researchers, and three clinically experienced research nurses.

The medical staff comprises one Chief Medical Officer, 20 Cardiology consultants, two cardiology trainees, 6-7 general medicine doctors, and 15 junior doctors.

Clinical functions and focus areas of the department

The candidate should hold specialization in Internal medicine: Cardiology. The nature of specialized clinical work can be tailored to align with the candidate's primary interests and the department's needs. Strong emphasis is placed on effective collaboration skills.

Collaboration within the Cardiology group is essential, and the candidate is anticipated to take part in on-call duties after 8:00 PM until morning, following an 11-shift rotation for a full-time clinical position. Similarly, active participation in daily clinical work, beyond the specified main area of interest, is a key aspect of the role. This multifaceted engagement ensures a comprehensive contribution to both emergency care and ongoing clinical activities within the department.
