Our Operations

In the department, specialist doctors, nurses, caregivers, social workers, psychologists, pharmacists, and occupational therapists work in multidisciplinary teams to ensure that all patients receive good and safe care. As we are part of a university hospital, research and teaching are an integral part of our operations, as is our evidence-based approach. We therefore place great importance on care, care development, the care process, and research, which is why we have our own research and development group linked to our department.
