In addition, Sykehuset Østfold, location Moss has recently been upgraded. This, together with health services in Østfold’s 5 regions, will contribute to a solid future foundation for great healthcare services to the district of Østfold.

Department of Nevrologi 100 % permanent position The department of neurology at the Østfold Trust Hospital consists of 31 patient beds. 16 beds are allocated to the stroke ward and the remaining 15 are for general neurology. We provide neurological care for the county of Østfold which currently has a population just under 290.000. About 90% of all admissions are for acute care. Currently we employ 10 registrars, 8 specialists and 1 clinical neurophysiologist. On-call shifts are part of all consultants rota and include on-site duties until 21:00. Our department administers acute stroke treatment with the aid of i.v. thrombolysis, carotid ultrasound and transcranial Doppler of the intracerebral arteries. The stroke unit also includes an interdisciplinary team composed of physiotherapists and occupational therapists specialised in assessment, care and rehabilitation of patients post CVA. Other services we provide are control and adjustment of DBS, dosage reviews and refilling of baclofen pumps and therapy using botulinum toxin. Through our outpatient department we offer consultations with nurses specialised in the management of MS and Parkinson's. We also run an extensive neurophysiology laboratory which provides diagnostics using EEG, EMG, neurography and evoked potentials. In recent years the department has greatly increased its research activity and we currently employ three Phd candidates and one consultant who recently obtained a doctorate degree. One of our ongoing projects is in cooperation with the Norwegian Air Ambulance Foundation. Together we are part of a study focusing on the implementation of a “stroke ambulance/mobile stroke unit” with an on-board CT scanner. A newly constructed, hyper-modern hospital recently took over patient care for the population of Østfold. In May 2015 the neurology department was among the first departments to move a number of its functions to the new hospital. Since then the neurophysiology department and outpatient department have been at full capacity and thriving in the new facilities. The 2nd of November marked the final phase of the move whereby the ward services and acute neurological care completed the transition to the new hospital at Kalnes, Sarpsborg. The building houses state of the art medical diagnostic systems including a new digital PET/CT, a 3-Tesla MRI and some of Europe's most advanced IT systems.
