Welcome to our website

Our Nursing is based on the MHH mission statement and the nursing concept of Hannover Medical School. It is planned, carried out and evaluated in a patient-oriented manner, taking into account the psychosocial situation. We are responsible for a certain number of patients within the scope of nursing care.

Accommodation is provided in single, double and multi-bed rooms, which are generally allocated according to medical criteria. Individual wishes are taken into account as far as possible.

Our nursing team consists of full-time and part-time registered nurses (some with additional qualifications). Participation in internal and external training courses is an integral part of our Human Resources. New colleagues are introduced to their new tasks in accordance with an induction guideline developed by our ward, which ensures a high standard of safety and care for our patients.

Our team is complemented by a part-time service employee. She works as an assistant to Nursing and carries out small nursing tasks under the guidance of a registered nurse. She also assists patients with their many everyday personal needs.

We ensure continuous care by working in a three-shift system in order to restore the well-being and health of our patients through interdisciplinary cooperation.

The focus of our nursing work is on the one hand the care and support of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. This includes
