Organisation

Aalborg Hospital is organised into five centres; the 'Medical Centre', the 'Anaesthesia, Paediatrics and Surgery Centre', the 'Head, Ortho and Heart Centre', the 'Cancer and Diagnostics Centre' and a 'Service Centre'.

There are three management levels: the hospital management, the centre managers and the departmental management. Some of the departments are function-based and also have sub departments at other hospitals in the region. In these cases, the departmental management at Aalborg Hospital is also the management for the function-based unit.

The centre manager is responsible for the overall development and activities at the centre. He/she must ensure that the centre's operations and the framework for the centre's operations is optimised. It is a priority that the centre manager is a professional manager with in-depth knowledge of the healthcare sector.

The centre manager reports to the hospital director, while the daily management tasks are handled in cooperation with the overall hospital management and the other centre managers in the organisation management. Each centre has a number of departments and departmental managements.
