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 as part of our nursing care.

Accommodation is provided on our elective care ward in single and double rooms.

Our nursing team consists of full-time and part-time registered nurses (some with additional qualifications such as practical instructors). 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 guarantees our patients a high standard of safety and care.

We guarantee 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 work lies in the special Nursing of patients with internal diseases. This includes preparation, monitoring and treatment after various interventions and therapies, as well as holistic patient observation and Nursing, mobilization and advice for patients, taking into account their individual resources and psychosocial aspects.

In order to meet our quality guidelines, we work according to the care standards of the Hannover Medical School. These are an important prerequisite for guaranteeing you optimal Nursing and treatment.

To be admitted to ward 38, you need an admission appointment, which you can obtain from the outpatient clinics.

Are you an elective patient, do you have an admission appointment and would you like to be admitted administratively? If so, please go to the Central Patient Admission at wards 4 and 8 (without taking a token).

If you need help, please contact the volunteer "green ladies and gentlemen" in the registration area, who will also accompany you if necessary.

In order to guarantee our patients comprehensive care, we work together with other professional groups on the ward on an interdisciplinary basis (e.g. stoma therapy and continence advice, dietetics, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology, pain therapy, social services and discharge management).

• You enter the MHH through the main entrance (building K6) and walk through the shopping street to elevator node_B.
• There you take the passenger elevator to floor 8.

This will take you directly to our front door.
