Falck Healthcare appoints new managing director
Anette Damgaard is appointed new managing director of Falck Healthcare. She assumes the new responsibilities in addition to her current role as head of Falck Healthcare in Denmark. Anette will report to Falck Healthcare’s board of directors.
Chairman of the board of directors of Falck Healthcare and CEO of Falck, Jakob Riis, says:
“Since joining Falck in February this year, Anette Damgaard has diligently worked to turn around our Danish healthcare business. It is still challenged but today we have clarity of the issues and a strong plan to sustain and improve Falck Healthcare in Denmark.”
“In the Nordics, we provide healthcare programmes covering more than 3 million people. Our business is based on the strength of our individual entities in Sweden, Denmark and Norway but over time, we do see synergies in integrating our businesses more. Anette Damgaard and her Nordic management team will unfold this potential to ensure our Nordic leadership and to continue developing a business that delivers great value to its customers, best-in-class treatments to clients and is a great place to work.”
High standards

From here, we need to sustain and continuously strengthen a business that supplements the public health care systems, and continue the data driven development of fast and measured interventions for work-related health problems.”
Anette Damgaard takes on her new responsibility as of today.

Quick access to psychological first aid to bystanders5.9.2023 10:05:00 CEST | Press release
When serious accidents occur, it is not only the injured persons who are affected. Often, the experience also deeply affects family, friends, acquaintances or bystanders. Witnessing an accident can have serious mental consequences for bystanders and relatives, so it is important that they get the right help quickly to prevent prolonged illness. At Falck, psychologists, paramedics and innovators have therefore developed a new initiative that gives bystanders direct access to psychological help. In Denmark, there are more than 200,000 cases of acute illness or injury each year that require an ambulance response. Relatives and bystanders play a crucial role during an accident: they call for help, provide first aid and take care of the patient until the ambulance arrives. During an accident, the help is naturally focused on the injured person, and there are limited resources for psychological first aid for bystanders and relatives. However, a study conducted by Falck shows that 24 percent
