In the future, the Benedictus Hospital in Tutzing will train its own junior staff.
The trainees are even given their own tablet for this purpose.
Tutzing – September 1st, 2023 is a very special day for the Benedictus Hospital in Tutzing.
With the opening of the "School for Health Professions", 25 of a total of 168 school graduates are to start with the three-year training as nursing specialists and nursing assistants.
An important step in the right direction, because: "If you want to provide patients with high-quality care, you need the right infrastructure and the right medical expertise as well as the right team," says a press release from the hospital, which from this year is relying on its own junior staff.
“So far, we have successfully acted as a practical partner for schoolchildren for many years.
With the founding of our own vocational school, we complete this spectrum with theoretical instruction.
This enables us to optimally coordinate theory and practice from a single source and to guarantee training quality according to our standards," explains Andreas Stoffel, Managing Director of the Benedictus Hospital in Tutzing.
Kathrin Brosowski, project manager and director of the Artemed Academy, which is dedicated to education, training and further education in the clinic group, also sees great advantages for the students themselves. "With the combination of theoretical and practical training under one roof, we can support our students much better.
The location of the vocational school was therefore deliberately chosen on the hospital grounds in the immediate vicinity of the hospital and Lake Starnberg, rather than in an external school in Munich, as was previously the case.
The theoretical lessons for the training occupations will take place there in the future.
The Artemed clinic group operates 17 clinics and five vocational schools for nursing professions nationwide - in addition to Tutzing in Freiburg, Frankfurt am Main, Bensheim and Heidelberg.
The school building: 700 square meters, five classrooms
The school building is currently being converted for teaching and will then have a total area of 700 square meters with a total of five classrooms, plus a kitchen and a canteen.
"Our goal is lively lessons," promises future headmaster Matthias Nickoleit.
“My personal highlight is the skills lab as a so-called third place of learning.
This simulation center has high-fidelity simulation puppets and VR glasses.” Digitization is also very important in other areas.
All trainees receive a Microsoft Surface Go 3 as a personal school tablet.
In this way, they can also learn outside of the classroom, regardless of time and place.
The practical training will continue to be completed in the cooperating clinics - the Benedictus Hospitals in Tutzing and Feldafing, the Artemed Clinic Munich South and the Psychosomatic Clinic Koster Dießen - according to the press release.
Teachers and practical instructors at the new nursing school are now offering internships for future school leavers who would like to get a taste of the profession.
Information about training at the Benedictus Hospital and the new vocational school is available at www.krankenhaus-tutzing.de/bildung and www.schule-für-gesundheitsberufe-tutzing.de.
