Sybille Bojlen

Sybille Bojlen, PhD, is a Researcher at the Research Unit for General Practice within the Department of Public Health, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. As a Specialist in General Practice (Speciallæge almen medicin), she combines clinical expertise with academic research to investigate primary care systems across Scandinavia from her base at the Center for Health and Society (Center for Sundhed og Samfund) in Copenhagen.

Her research centers on comparative analysis of organizational structures in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish primary care sectors, examining how institutional frameworks influence general practitioners' clinical autonomy and service delivery. Current work includes the project "First we shape our buildings and afterwards the buildings shape us," which explores the reciprocal relationship between healthcare infrastructure design and professional practice patterns in general medicine. This research bridges health services organization with frontline clinical realities through empirical Scandinavian case studies.

Bojlen's scholarly contributions include a 2019 editorial in the British Journal of General Practice addressing reflective themes in medical practice, demonstrating her engagement with both clinical medicine and healthcare system design. Her work consistently emphasizes contextual factors shaping primary care effectiveness across different national settings.

She operates within the Research Unit for General Practice (Forskningsenheden for Almen Praksis), collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to advance evidence-based understanding of general practice through comparative health systems research focused on Scandinavian models.
