The website is owned and updated by Mentor Instituttet in dialogue with the Regions, associated on-call services, pharmacies, and other stakeholders in the acute care sector. The website is financed through advertising revenue, with Mentor Instituttet ensuring that the advertising content is serious and appropriate for the website's purpose.

Complaints

The website www.lægevagten.dk is developed and operated by doctors with in-depth knowledge and experience in the field. We have prepared this guide for those who want to get in touch with or file a complaint about the Medical Helpline

Before you file a complaint or seek compensation

Before you file a complaint or seek compensation, it can be a good idea to contact a patient advisor in the Region where the medical emergency consultation took place.

The patient advisors can advise and guide you on the complaint systems, provide you with relevant information/forms, and possibly assist with the formulation of the complaint/application.

Here you can find the patient advisors of the Regions: https://danskepatienter.dk/patienter-paaroerende/find-en-patientvejleder
