Rigshospitalet - in brief

 

Rigshospitalet is a highly specialised hospital which is organised under the Capital Region of Denmark. With a few exceptions, Rigshospitalet covers all medical specialist areas.

Management and organisation
The hospital is managed by a Board of Management with a Hospital Director and two Assistant Directors (Medical Director and Hospital Nursing Director) with staff functions for finance and planning, for staff, for human resource development and quality improvement, and for IT and public relations.

Staff
Rigshospitalet is one of Denmark’s largest workplaces with about 8,000 employees broken down into more than 50 professional groups. The hospital is one of Denmark's largest educational institutions within medical science programmes. A large number of staff in the rest of the Danish national healthcare system has been wholly or partly trained or further educated at Rigshospitalet.

Organisational structure
Rigshospitalet is divided into six treatment centres and two interdisciplinary centres. Each centre has a number of clinics and/or departments. Each centre is run by a manager with independent administrative and financial responsibility. Also a Nursing Head of Centre/Centre Head Laboratory Technologist is part of the management of the clinical centres. 

New developments
As a consequence of the Hospital Plan of the Capital Region of Denmark for 2007, a number of changes will take place in future in relation to the functions carried out at Rigshospitalet.

Already in 2008 a number of function mergers were carried out, but due to the current physical framework of Rigshospitalet, it is not possible to introduce functions from other hospitals, and in the short term, the departments merged will be operated as external functions from Rigshospitalet.

In the long term, the departments merged are to relocate to Rigshospitalet and the hospital must hold the necessary physical environment and possibilities for expansion towards new, future tasks. The mergers and other changes as a consequence of the Hospital Plan of the Capital Region of Denmark make it necessary to build a new wing and renovate the existing buildings of the hospital.
