Ward 78 is involved in the practical training for nursing professionals. The quality of the practical training is ensured by specially trained staff (practical instructors).

You arrive at the planned inpatient admission

On the day of admission, please first go to the central patient admission (building K6, main entrance). You can be admitted to ward 78 there. You will need your referral slip and your insurance card for administrative admission.

Please register at our nursing support point, which is located in the middle of the ward. You will be met there by a nurse who will accompany you to your designated room. If your room/bed space is not yet available, you can take a seat in our patient lounge. Even if your admission has been planned for a certain time, we cannot guarantee that your room/bed space will be available at that time. Unplanned events on the ward sometimes lead to delays.

What do you need to bring?

- Insurance card, identity card
- Current medication list, or complete medication for one day
- Patient ID cards (if available), e.g. allergy pass, Marcumar pass, etc.
- Comfortable clothing, bathrobe, slippers, a pair of sturdy shoes or sneakers
- Care utensils
- No valuables or large sums of money if possible

Patient rooms

Ward 78 has 8 single rooms and 6 double rooms. Each room has a bathroom with shower, washbasin and WC. Our rooms have a television and a telephone. To be able to use the television and telephone, you need the Hi-Med card, which you can purchase from a machine in the shopping street as well as in the Women's Clinic building. Use of the television is free of charge, but like the telephone connection it is linked to the Hi-Med card. WLAN is available for a small daily fee. Unfortunately, we do not have a patient safe, but the patient lockers can be locked. However, we generally recommend that you do not bring any valuables or large amounts of money with you.
