Research areas

The research conducted by Hospital Sønderjylland is based on the regional Strategy for Health Research and the research strategy of Hospital Sønderjylland.

The primary focus is on the three main themes:

• Research for the patient
• Research for the clinic, and
• Research for the development of the healthcare system in Southern Denmark.

The research is carried out with a focus on Hospital Sønderjylland's overall strategy, including coherent and safe patient pathways.

Furthermore, there are five particularly prioritized strategic research areas that Hospital Sønderjylland supports, namely:

• Public health issues
• Mental illness and vulnerability
• Personalized medicine
• The pre-hospital area
• Efficiency in research

The research is centralized in the Learning and Research House in Aabenraa, which provides a framework for good research with a study environment and resources available, including library services, statisticians, and research services in a broad sense, including advice on finance and study design, and creation of contacts with qualified research guidance.
