Network for construction in the area of psychiatry
The network for construction in the area of psychiatry was established at the prompting of the regions' psychiatry directors.

The network also exchanges ideas within Denmark and abroad in relation to the planning and implementation of each region's construction projects. The members are coordinators and key people within the areas of planning and construction for the construction projects in the area of psychiatry. Danish Regions provides secretariat services to the network, which meets four times a year. Contact person: Christina Carlsen, Danish Regions.
