Gynaecological inpatient ward

The fee depends on the type of visit: you will be charged a daily inpatient fee, a clinic fee, a day surgical fee or a continuing treatment fee. More information about client fees.

Daily at 1 – 7 pm. It you wish to visit at other times, please talk with the staff on beforehand.

We have 6 single-bed patient rooms and 6 double patient rooms. Each room has lockable cupboards and toilet and shower facilities.

There is also a day room which can be used by all patients at the ward.

Training, teaching and guidance

As a student you are a member of a multidisciplinary team and will be able to participate in planning and executing the treatment of patients with gynaecological health problems.

You will be appointed two mentors and your shifts are to be planned so that you work at the same times as much as possible. The goals for your training period are set during your first week at the department. During this discussion, the dates for your intermediate evaluation report and final evaluation report are set.

You will have morning, day and night shifts during this period of practical training. The shifts are not alike and there is much to learn in every shift. We apply what we call silent reporting at the ward. The training period consists of interacting with patients of different age and from different cultural backgrounds.

Medical students follow their regular curriculum during their training period at the ward.  Medical students have the opportunity to do an internship at the ward and the surgical department.

Before your training period

• Repeat what your learned at the lectures by experts in the current field
• Repeat male and female anatomy and the menstrual cycle
• Research which are the most common gynaecological diagnoses and procedures
• Read the web page The hospital as a learning environment.
