As qualified nursing staff, we are responsible for the 24/7 care of our patients. Our aim is to achieve an atmosphere of safety and trust. Thanks to our resource-oriented nursing care, we can send our patients home well informed and independent.
Patients who have undergone orthopedic surgery receive highly professional nursing care during both the preoperative and postoperative phases of their hospital stay. We also care for rheumatology patients. Part of our job is to help in coordinating the hospital stay from admission to discharge.
The care of patients with spinal cord injuries includes focussing particularly on wound management, mechanical ventilation care, and crisis intervention. We aim to help people with spinal cord injuries achieve as much independence as possible.
We encourage close cooperation with all the professional groups involved in patient care. In addition, Balgrist offers many employee benefits.

We care for patients in the orthopedic, rheumatology and spinal cord injury units, as well as those on the intermediate care station.
In our outpatient wound clinics we care for patients after they have left hospital, and we treat simple to complex wounds.
Each year our plaster room sees us treat about 4200 patients with fractures or other injuries to the musculoskeletal system.
Before a definitive admission to hospital (either as an inpatient or for day-care surgery), you will be given full information and examined by medical and nursing staff.
Balgrist offers a wide range of vocational and practical training opportunities. We place particular emphasis on the combination of theory with practice.
