We cooperate closely with the Departments of Gynaecology and Obstetrics at Holbæk, Slagelse, Nykøbing Falster Hospital.

Obstetrical patients requiring highly specialized procedures are referred to Rigshospitalet. Few patients (HIV positive pregnancies) are referred to Hvidovre Hospital.

Annually, we organize obstetrical skills training and do simulation training involving all midwifes and doctors.

We have developed a concept aiming to diminish caesarean rates for primiparae, and have recently published a Podcast aiming to show all aspects of a normal delivery as well as an uncomplicated caesarean to pregnant women.

The Department offer highly specialized gynaecological services for patients having endometrial or ovarian cancer, neurogenic bladder dysfunction, painful bladder syndrome, irritative bladder dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and/or (recurrence of) uterovaginal prolapse.

Research and teaching

Currently, we do research in Reproductive Health on human implantation and risk factors for fertility outcome, in biomarkers in Obstetrics, and in epidemiology aspects of Urogynaecology. We have five PhD students and educate 6-10 medical students in Gynaecology & Obstetrics per month.

With the new position as consultant in Obstetrics and clinical professor of Gynaecology & Obstetrics with special focus on Obstetrics, the Department of Gynaecology & Obstetrics at Zealand University Hospital wishes to strengthen leadership in clinical research and teaching in Obstetrics in our region and at our department with an emphasis on the normal delivery and associated lifestyle risk factors.

We have an ongoing large-scale study at our Fertility Clinic, how to improve living conditions imposing a risk to fertility prior to fertility treatment.

We wish a coming professor in Obstetrics to engage in research of life matters potentially compromising the normal pregnancy.
