Centre for Surgery and Anaesthesiology

Nursing at the Centre for Surgery and Anaesthesiology at the UKHD

Our Department of Surgery and Department of Anaesthesiology at Heidelberg University Hospital is one of the oldest and most traditional centres in Germany with over 300 beds. As a maximum care centre with several certified centres of excellence, we offer the highest level of medical care every day.

The dedicated nursing team supports the entire clinical operation - at the patient's bedside, in the recovery room, in the operating theatre and in central patient management. Our aim is to ensure holistic care for our patients during treatment, monitoring and aftercare. We stand for the highest level of professional expertise, modern treatment concepts and patient-orientated care.

Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, innovative examination and surgical methods and excellent equipment, we can guarantee first-class care. Our team cares for patients in various surgical specialities and accompanies them on their path to recovery. We attach particular importance to empathetic counselling and support - also for the relatives of our patients.

We also offer numerous specialised consultation hours that ensure competent care and coordination, even for rare or complex medical issues. As part of a university hospital, we are actively involved in nursing research in order to continuously improve the quality of our treatment.

An important focus of our work is interprofessional collaboration. Through close cooperation with doctors, therapists, social workers and other specialised staff, we guarantee holistic and individual care for our patients.

Interpersonal contact is just as important to us as our professional expertise. Our nursing staff will accompany you throughout your stay, provide individualised and empathetic care and make a significant contribution to the smooth management of the patient's stay. We ensure a high quality of treatment - both in outpatient and inpatient care. Our patients always take centre stage!
