Pediatric intensive care units
The special professional challenge!We treat premature and sick newborns, giving them the best possible start in life. In addition to the necessary high-tech medicine, the focus of our treatment is on development-promoting and family-oriented care. Parents are part of our treatment team and have the opportunity to stay overnight with their child in the intensive care unit.
We implement the criteria of development-promoting care, e.g:
- Basal stimulation
- Infant handling
- Initial touch
Our ward was modernized and expanded in 2011. We have all diagnostic and therapeutic options in the field of modern intensive care
We are a team - regardless of profession and hierarchies!
- diverse qualification opportunities
- Trusting cooperation in a specialized team
- Great colleagues you can rely on at all times
- close interdisciplinary cooperation for the benefit of our patients
- We implement innovative nursing projects
Become part of our care team!
We are part of the Clinic for General Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine and work closely with the various departments of the Center for Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine. We have over eight intensive care beds, four "observation beds" and five normal care beds and are housed directly in the Clinic for Gynecology to ensure optimal care without long distances.
As our work is very demanding and challenging, we attach great importance to the support of our staff, who give their best every day.

The aim of our 14-month qualification program is to give you confidence when starting work in the intensive care unit. We would like to qualify you for your work in intensive care, avoid excessive demands and make it easier for you to settle into the working world of intensive care units.
During the practical assignments, the participants are accompanied and supported by experienced qualified staff, practical instructors and the head of the qualification program.
The practical assignments are accompanied by a theoretical qualification. The content includes clinical and equipment monitoring as well as the basics of infusion and medication therapy. The topic of ventilation is covered in greater depth in special "ventilation days".
In addition, regular coaching by the supervision service is integrated into the program. The appointments are mandatory and are taken into account by the responsible managers when planning duties. Participants are released from their duties on the ward for this purpose.
Target group: The program is aimed at all new employees who start in the intensive care unit and consciously decide to work on a ward.
