Our Nursing Philosophy

The focus of our work is the competent, committed and compassionate medical care for our patients. We always keep their social and cultural background in mind and consider each patient a unique personality that has his or her very particular physical, spiritual and psychological needs. We are committed to involving relatives and partners in the care for the patient. Our holistic approach to patient care, which is provided by a multi-disciplinary team, places the person in need at the centre of our attention at all times during day and night.  

What our team means by patient care:

  • Support the patient in regaining or maintaining his abilities while keeping his needs in mind
  • Mutual give and take
  • Provide all the conditions that are necessary to guarantee a high quality of life
  • Help the patient to cope with restrictions
  • Encourage a respectful atmosphere in which relatives and partners feel welcome and actively involved as well
  • Well organised, systematic and specific care
  • Nursing competence which requires constant development and reflexion
  • “Nursing rounds” and case briefings

To enable our nursing staff to devote their time and energy exclusively to high-quality “holistic patient care”, all tasks outside nursing are taken over by colleagues working on the Service or Office Team. 

The nursing process is divided into five steps:

1. Assessment: interview at admission to hospital, case history, gathering of information about the patient’s lifestyle, and, if appropriate, reading of specialised literature, etc.

2. Nursing diagnosis: adjust the required nursing to the patient’s diagnosis, describe his/her problems and resources; define nursing objectives

3. Nursing schedule: What is to be done at what time, by whom and how often?

4. Nursing: taking care of the patient and documenting the applied procedures

5. Review: review of the nursing procedures: Have the aims been reached? Any need for changes?
