contact doctor

See
"Contacts
When hospitalized or receiving treatment courses of long duration, you will be offered one or
more contacts. In that way, you and your relations always know to whom you should approach
with potential questions.
You will not necessarily meet your contacts when you are hospitalized or receiving treatment.
But you are always welcome to contact them if you or your relations have any questions
regarding your treatment. If your contacts cannot provide you with an answer, then they will
find someone who can.
You will receive a contact card with the contacts' name(s) and phone number(s).
A contact may be a doctor, nurse or another kind of healthcare staff employed in the
department where you are being treated."

"Kontakt

Du vil blive tildelt en kontaktlæge og en kontaktsygeplejerske i afsnittet. De vil overordnet være ansvarlige for dit forløb, mens du til dagligt vil have kontakt med en større del af personalet."

Peer comment(s):

agree Christine Andersen : This may need explanation, both in English and Danish. It is an attempt to give patients a sense of continuity and coordinate the progress of a long course of treatment.

Thanks, Christine. This is one of those innovative concepts/ideas, very special to Scandinavian countries like Denmark. And, therefore need explanation of the context.
