Nursing care around the time of operation and the different types of pain therapy are major aspects of orthopedic surgery. We also focus on the support and alleviation of rheumatological diseases. Discussions with patients are also part of our routine work. Close cooperation with all the professionals involved in patient care is of great importance. Nursing care at Balgrist University Hospital is ISO certified.

With the admissions ward opened in November 2021, admissions will be logistically separated from discharges. Patients leaving the hospital will need their hospital bed in the morning, while patients entering the hospital will only need it after their operation in the afternoon, when the beds of the patients who left in the morning have become free.

In our modernly equipped intensive care unit with 6 beds, which is recognised by the Society for Intensive Care Medicine, we care for seriously ill patients around the clock, 365 days a year. An interdisciplinary team of medical specialists and nurses cares for and accompanies patients and their relatives with great professional competence and empathy, characterised by an understanding of people in extraordinary situations. Sophisticated, high-quality technology supports us in seamless monitoring, diagnostics, therapy and in bridging life-threatening situations or in replacing vital organ functions of our patients.
