Our vision is to be a leader in quality
Nordland Hospital has taken a leading role in developing and adopting innovative technological solutions for patient care, internally at the hospitals and in the homes of many patients. Examples include technological solutions for home dialysis where the patient can monitor and report vital parameters and communicate their health information digitally to the hospital using a cell phone app. Nordland Hospital also uses electronic registration of vital patient data (news scores) via Medanet's cell phone app. Data is stored directly in the patient's journal.
The health trust is also a major educational and research institution. In collaboration with the University of Tromsø, Nordland Hospital offers complete study programmes for fifth and sixth-year medical students. Research activity is large and growing within somatics, mental health care and substance abuse.
Over the past 15 years, Nordland Hospital has invested approximately NOK 5.5 billion in new hospital buildings. A new local hospital at Stokmarknes opened in 2014, and the modernised and expanded somatic hospital in Bodø was completed in 2021.
Nordland Hospital Trust has a budget of close to 5 billion kroner. Employees: 3454 man-years divided into 4807 employees.
