Clinical functions and focus areas of the department
The subspeciality of stroke is a major clinical focus area of our department. We have a dedicated neurovascular ward providing acute stroke diagnostics and treatment the entire population of Region Zealand. This includes IVT (thrombolysis), sonography, an out-patient-clinic for TIA and minor stroke patients as well as regular in-patient treatment in the acute phase of stroke. We have 13 consultants/senior registrars affiliated with the neurovascular ward, and a multidisciplinary approach with a number of other health professionals related to stroke. We carry out simulation training of acute stroke admissions on a monthly basis as a means to ensure quality for our IVT patients.

We wish to employ a consultant with deep knowledge of the field, and the motivation and energy for strengthening and developing our neurovascular field, both in relation to the patients and the organisation.

The number of stroke patients remains high, and a high quality approach is vital for both the individual patients as well as society. There will be a need for strong collaboration within the department, with the pre-hospital centre, and with other departments.

The clinical tasks will have a focus on the in-patient ward but may also involve stroke patients in our out­patient clinic. The daily activities will include direct patient contact as well as supervision of and collaboration with nurses, junior doctors, and other health professionals.

We expect clinical research of an international level and quality within the field of stroke, and we expect a significant contribution to the further development of our clinical research unit in general.

The clinical research unit of our department currently includes four other senior researchers supporting a number of junior researchers, several of these as PhD students.
