She is a woman from the field: Brigitta Wermuth becomes the new nursing director of the kbo-Klinikum in Haar.

Hair

- close and accessible, with a feel for what moves the employees at the grassroots level - that is what Brigitta Wermuth would like to be as the new nursing director of the kbo-Klinikum for the 2400 nursing staff.

As a professional woman, she has now succeeded Herrmann Schmidt.

Wermuth entered the district hospital for the first time 35 years ago when he started training as a nurse.

Now she is at the top “as the first woman,” says the 55-year-old proudly.

In her career she trained as a specialist in psychiatry, was in the departments of general psychiatry and neurology and also shouldered the hospital business economist, "because I wanted to be able to have a say".

The qualifications also offered opportunities for career jumps: management activities in various specialist areas, nursing management at the Clinic for Psychosomatics and the Haarer Center for Geriatric Medicine and Developmental Disorders.

Responsible for 2400 employees in nine locations

After a year of substitution, the native of Lower Bavaria is now responsible for 2400 employees in nine locations. In all these years she has never lost contact with the grassroots and can build on the good preparatory work of her predecessor - the cooperation with the universities and nursing schools, public relations in the schools and the further training and post-qualification offers for nursing staff. The training to become a curative nurse has started again this year, and a practice coordinator is due to take up his duties next year.

20 Filipino employees have been recruited through the “Triple Win” program, and another 25 will follow.

Wermuth and her deputy Johannes Thalmeier confirm that these new employees have an equivalent, if not higher, level of training than their German colleagues.

The "tapping" is not at the expense of their home country, "because the Philippines train far beyond their needs," says Thalmeier.

But Wermuth is not just about their labor and that they can cover around five percent or 57 full-time positions.

“We don't pick them up from the airport and just put them in a winter jacket.

For me, it's really about living migration and integration intensively, ”she explains.

"The failure management still needs to be improved here"

More than three decades in the same job and in the same house have by no means left Brigitta Wermuth tired of her job.

She appreciates the diverse and professional area of ​​responsibility from general and age-related psychiatry to neurology, forensics or addiction.

“Regardless of the location or area - I like going to work every day.

Our house is a very good one that also offers a lot of possibilities. "

Her first tasks as director will be to deploy academic nurses in the wards, "bring science to bed, so to speak." Personnel development will also have a different priority in the years to come.

"The failure management still needs to be improved here," says Thalmeier.

In some things, however, both have no indirect influence, such as the new Psychiatry Personnel Ordinance (PPP-RL), which is about the relationship between patient and nurse.

"There are still a few things you can do to adjust that, that should be checked again before it comes into effect from 2023." There are no other wishes: an appropriate wage for the work done, but also a training allowance, for example Students.

“Don't applaud, take action!” Demands Wermuth.
