Die Universitäre Neuropädiatrie, Entwicklungspädiatrie und Neurorehabilitation Nordwestschweiz ist eine interdisziplinäre Abteilung des Universitäts-Kinderspitals beider Basel (UKBB) in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Kinderspital Aarau.
In unserer Abteilung kümmern wir uns um die Gesundheit und Erkrankungen des gesamten Nervensystems – vom Gehirn als Schaltzentrale über das Rückenmark bis hin zu Nerven und Muskeln. Wir betreuen Neugeborene, Säuglinge, Klein- und Schulkinder sowie Jugendliche bis zum 18. Lebensjahr. Unsere Patient*innen werden ambulant in spezialisierten Sprechstunden sowie stationär von einem grossen, engagierten Team aus Ärzt*innen, Neuropsycholog*innen, Fachpersonen für Pflege und für neurophysiologische Diagnostik abgeklärt und behandelt. Wir bieten allgemeine neuropädiatrische und entwicklungspädiatrische Sprechstunden ebenso wie hochspezialisierte Angebote, modernste Diagnostik und therapeutische Verfahren.Die Betreuung erfolgt in enger interdisziplinärer Zusammenarbeit mit Kolleg*innen angrenzender Fachbereiche – häufig in gemeinsamen Sprechstunden. Unsere modernen Räumlichkeiten erfüllen höchste Anforderungen universitärer Medizin. Wir stehen für Exzellenz, wobei eine familienorientierte, kindgerechte Betreuung für uns stets im Mittelpunkt steht.
Our platform is dedicated to research in the field of paediatric epilepsy, sleep disorders and neuromuscular diseases in children and adolescents. Under the leadership of Prof Datta, we focus on innovative research approaches and interdisciplinary collaboration in order to develop new findings and therapies.
