Nursing at the Swiss Paraplegic Centre

We offer individual, holistic support for people with spinal cord injuries and similar conditions throughout their lives. Our nurses play a key role in the interpro-fessional treatment teams and provide specialised rehabilitation, acute and intensive care in the field of spinal cord medicine.

We don’t just talk about change – we shape it togeth-er. For us, innovation means developing nursing as a whole in the same way as in highly specialised areas. With around 70 experts with specialised nursing knowledge and a training team of around 25 people, we boost knowledge, quality and synergies.

• Consistent specialisation in spinal cord injuries
• Primary nursing, a structured nursing process and targeted patient and family education
• Close collaboration with physiotherapy and occupa-tional therapy, RespiCare, medical services, speech therapy, psychology, pastoral and spiritual care, and peer work
