A unique model for interdisciplinary research
Collaborations on the establishment of CHSP is inspired by King’s College in the United Kingdom, where they have managed to bring basic research at the universities and patient-based research at the hospitals closer together.
The collaboration model is founded on, among other things, a mix of powerful interdisciplinary research units called 'Clinical Academic Groups' (CAGs). A CAG consists of a number of clinicians and researchers from the Capital Region of Denmark, regional educators as well as university teachers and researchers.
Their main aim is to create the best possible framework for interdisciplinary collaborations across basic research and hospital treatments with the inclusion of regional experiences with patient contact. The experience gained from the CAG collaborations will also be used in educations to ensure that future healthcare professionals benefit from the value generated by CHSP.
