Nutritional advice and therapy
Our nutritional consultations and therapies are based on your individual needs and are scientifically sound. We advise and care for inpatients and outpatients on medical referral.
Interprofessional collaboration and further training
We apply our evidence-based, practical expertise to patients with complex clinical pictures in interprofessional collaboration. We offer further training for the interdisciplinary treatment team.
Practice development and training
We are part of internal working groups such as the Patient Catering Expert Committee and the Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Working Group (AGEPE). We work on internal treatment concepts and care guidelines in order to maintain and improve the quality of our work for the benefit of our patients.
Metabolic Nutrition Team (MET)
The metabolic nutrition team supports our patients in outpatient consultations as part of a multi-professional treatment team for the following diseases, among others:
- Metabolic diseases e.g. diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes
- Obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2)
- Overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2), which is associated with a secondary disease that can be favorably influenced by weight reduction
- Cardiovascular diseases e.g. hypertension, dyslipidemia
- Kidney diseases
- Eating disorders
Clinical nutrition team (KET)
The aim of clinical nutrition is to ensure optimal nutritional care for our patients. Nutritional therapy counteracts existing or impending malnutrition or malnutrition through active nutritional intervention. We care for internally referred patients during hospitalization and, if necessary, on an outpatient basis after discharge.
Our expertise is aimed at people with:
- Malnutrition, e.g. as a result of tumor disease, neurological diseases or in multimorbid disease situations
- Artificial nutrition (enteral and/or parenteral nutrition)
- Operations on the digestive tract, e.g. gastric resection, Whipple operation, small bowel resection
- Stem cell transplantation
- Lung diseases e.g. cystic fibrosis, COPD
- Metabolic diseases e.g. protein metabolism disorders, urea cycle disorders
- Severe eating disorders (multi-professional treatment team)
Internal guidelines on clinical nutrition can be found on the intranet under nutritional advice.
Group courses
