Nurses voice deep concerns over patient safety after three senior doctors dismissed
Nurses at Rigshospitalet expressed serious worries about patient safety following the termination of three highly experienced senior physicians, after two other specialists resigned.
During a Monday briefing, Rigshospitalet director Rasmus Møgelvang and deputy director Jannick Brennum faced intense scrutiny from regional politicians. They defended the decision to fire three senior consultants amid prolonged cooperation problems on the department. The dismissals came shortly after two equally specialized senior doctors had already quit their posts, prompting nurses to declare deep concern for patient safety.
