All new nursing staff at the gynaecological clinic receive specific induction training. Depending on the ward and speciality, there are individual induction concepts that provide a framework for the induction phase. Depending on previous professional experience and existing skills, the induction is customised as required. Experienced employees in the nursing teams are appointed as mentors for the induction phase so that support can be provided as consistently as possible during the initial period. In many areas, the induction is also supported by our practice instructors. Regular reflection meetings with the ward managers also accompany the familiarisation phase. Four to six weeks after starting work, there is also a feedback meeting with the head of nursing, which focuses on a joint review of the first few weeks of work.

In order to get to know interface areas better, the familiarisation phase also includes work shadowing. In particular, midwives are assigned to the obstetrics ward and nurses from the gynaecological general ward are given an insight into the IMC ward and outpatient surgery, or vice versa. This gives new employees a comprehensive picture of the gynaecological clinic and a better overview of the interrelationships. Last but not least, this exchange also serves to promote networking and collegial cooperation.
