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 7-10 patients at any one time as part of our nursing care.

Accommodation on our normal ward is in single, double and triple rooms, all of which have a bathroom with toilet and shower.

Our nursing team consists of full-time and part-time registered nurses (some with additional qualifications) who specialize in caring for patients before and after cardiac and thoracic surgery as well as patients with cardiac support systems.

Participation in internal and external training is an integral part of our Human Resources. The HTTG Clinical Department offers its employees its own training program to ensure a high standard of safety and care. An induction concept has been developed for new employees, which includes an introductory circle with planned work shadowing in the various areas of HTTG.

Theaim is to provide our patients with the best possible nursing and medical care and to prepare them and their relatives for the changed living conditions at home.

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.

Work shadowing and internships are possible to a limited extent. Early application to the nursing services office with a complete application is essential.

 

When caring for patients with tumors, we follow our concept for oncological care at the MHH.

The nursing services include the care of patients before and after:

• Heart valve operations as well as heart bypass operations
• Implantation of ventricular assist devices (VAD)
• Operations for thoracic deformities
• Operations for thoracic tumor resections
• Operations for mediastinal tumors
  

The following aids, among others, are used in patient care:

• Various wound drains and chest drains
• cardiac pacemakers
• Infusion and syringe pumps
• Gastric tubes and feeding tubes
• Central and arterial catheters and much more.
  

In cooperation with the VAD coordination team, we offer training courses for patients

• on the safe handling of lifelong medication after implantation of
• cardiac support systems (especially anticoagulation)
• to acquire knowledge about personal hygiene and infection prevention
• to enable safe handling of a ventricular assist device (VAD)
  

We work closely with:

• all specialist departments within the HTTG and the MHH
• VAD coordinators (artificial heart group)
• Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, respiratory therapists
• HTTG wound management
• HTTG study assistants
• Nutritionists
• Social services
• Chaplains
• Nursing services, rehabilitation facilities and medical supply stores
• Hygiene specialists

Our visiting hours are based on the general visiting hours of the MHH, which you can view in the patient portal.

We strive for the voluntary "registration of professional nurses" of our employees. This registration obliges every nurse to provide evidence of regular participation in further training.

In addition, all employees have the opportunity to use

• the MHH's internal further education and training program
• the internal training and further education program of the HTTG
• a further training platform on the Internet (recognized e-learning / Thieme Verlag)

• You enter the MHH through the main entrance (building K6) and walk through the shopping street to elevator node_A.
• There you take the passenger elevator to floor 5.
• This will take you directly to our front door.

You will find our duty room in the middle of ward 15, where we will welcome you.
