Welcome to our website

Our Nursing is based on the MHH mission statement and the nursing concept of Hannover Medical School.

Our Nursing team consists of specialist nurses for surgical and endoscopic care as well as surgical assistants (OTA), who are employed full and part-time. We are part of an interdisciplinary team and work closely with other professional groups who all have the same goal: to provide the best possible care for our patients.

Participation in internal and external training courses is an integral part of our Human Resources. New colleagues are introduced to their new tasks according to an induction guideline developed by our department, which guarantees our patients a high standard of safety and care.

We guarantee continuous care for our patients by working early, late and on-call shifts.

An important goal of our Nursing is to contribute to efficient operational procedures. Among other things, this means ensuring that all materials, equipment and instruments are available at all times for planned and emergency operations.

We are responsible for the safety of our patients so that they do not suffer any physical injury during their stay in the operating theater. In order to guarantee this safety standard, we work according to quality guidelines that we have jointly developed and which are an important prerequisite for providing optimal Nursing and treatment.

Our tasks are

• providing expert care for patients, taking into account their physical and psychological situation during their stay in the operating theater
• the professional and situation-appropriate instrumentation of a wide range of operations
• Supporting the operating team before, during and after the operation (jumper activity)
• Preparation of upcoming operations including instruments
• Preparation and follow-up of the operating theater
• in-depth knowledge and maintenance of highly specialized medical equipment and materials
• Implementation of hygiene and aseptic regulations
• administrative tasks
• Supervision of trainees and induction of new employees

After their induction in the gynecological operating room, they spend time in the visceral surgery operating room so that every member of our nursing team can be deployed competently and flexibly in both operating departments, which are under the same nursing management.
