At UKBB, more than 6,500 patients are cared for every year, from premature babies weighing 500 grams to adolescents weighing 120 kilograms. Around 400 nursing staff care for newborns, infants, children and adolescents around the clock and support their parents, siblings and relatives.
In the various life situations, the nursing staff treat the acutely, chronically or psychiatrically ill patients with a professional attitude and involve them in the interdisciplinary decision-making process.
As a carer
The nursing service is passionately committed to vocational training and further education and training in the healthcare sector. Practical and innovative learning opportunities promote professional development and provide optimal preparation for the challenges of modern healthcare.
An independent specialist department exists to review nursing services and constantly adapt them to the latest standards. This department is committed to the development of nursing care. Nursing development has the task and goal of further developing nursing practice according to the latest findings and is based on caring and evidence (clinical experience, patient needs, current literature and environmental conditions). Each department is represented in the nursing development specialist group by a nursing specialist with higher education.
Employees who are interested in a specific specialisation or in nursing development and nursing science receive time and financial support at UKBB. This applies both to specialist further training with an NDK, CAS, DAS or MAS degree as well as Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes.
