We facilitate and promote the development of exemplary, professional nursing practice. Our nursing staff provide their best theoretical and practical knowledge for our patients, new mothers and newborns.
We understand the nursing process as the core of our independent spectrum of action. In its implementation, we combine empirical knowledge with evidence-based findings and bring this together with the specific patient situation.
We employ carers with a wide range of qualifications and skills as well as apprentices and students with different levels of training. In this way, we sustainably secure the need for nursing staff with different educational qualifications. Together, we achieve excellent nursing patient outcomes. Our care system is characterised by personal and individual contact with patients and their relatives and their active involvement in care.
The nursing service operates in a dynamic environment. It is characterised by an open attitude towards innovation and development.
We understand leadership to be the conscious, goal-orientated mutual influence with the purpose of evaluating the present, ensuring further development and shaping the future.
Our attitude to leadership is based on our values and is reflected in collaborative behaviour.
