Isabelle (12) is living her dreams - despite muscle disease and artificial respiration via a tracheostoma.
It takes people who support children like Isabelle on their journey. The University Children's Hospital Basel (UKBB) offers further tracheostoma training for employees of children's home care organisations and curative education institutions.
We look forward to many Registrations!
The number of tracheostomised and home-ventilated children and adolescents in Switzerland has been steadily increasing for years. Most of them are cared for at home by their parents with the support of a Kinderspitex organisation. During the day, the children go to a curative education centre where they are cared for by specialists and therapists.
The care and support of tracheostomised/home-ventilated children and adolescents is a complex and highly specialised field. Specific training for carers is therefore essential for safe, high-quality and family-centred care.
An interprofessional team of experts has been caring for this group of patients at UKBB for many years. We would like to pass on our experience to you as an employee of a children's Spitex organisation or a curative education institution and thus support you in this challenging task.
The Medgate Kids Line provides quick and uncomplicated medical advice if your child is unwell. The medical team of our partner Medgate is available to you by telephone around the clock.
For emergencies abroad: Call the emergency number of your health insurance company. You will find this number on your health insurance card.
More information: On the Page of the emergency ward you will find everything you need to know about behaviour in emergencies, typical childhood illnesses and waiting times.
