Interdisciplinarity
Many professions - one common goal
From doctors and craftsmen to physiotherapists and chefs: At our hospital, 35 different professional groups work hand in hand every day for the well-being of our patients.
At over 40 clinics and outpatient clinics, our employees work interprofessionally under one roof to ensure the best treatment and the smooth functioning of all processes in our hospital.
In order to provide the best possible care, many professional groups need to work together - only then will the overall result be right for each and every individual. Thinking outside the (professional) box is not only allowed, but encouraged: this is the only way we can create suitable solution strategies for the most modern requirements. All this makes us part of an innovative and future-oriented transfer of knowledge at the highest level, from which not only patients but also you as an employee of the University Hospital Basel benefit.
"It's extraordinary how interdisciplinary we work together here, even between the individual clinics. This doesn't happen in many places."

Interdisciplinary at all operational management levels
We are also remaining true to our interdisciplinary approach in the organization of the medical areas: we have now grouped our clinics into medical departments - always with the synergy idea in mind of how treatments for certain diseases and organs are combined across disciplines. For example, the Breast Surgery, Urology, Women's Clinic, Visceral Surgery and Gastroenterology & Hepatology clinics now operate as the "Breast, Abdomen and Pelvis" department.
The individual departments are managed by interdisciplinary management trios consisting of medical, nursing and business management representatives. In addition to the added value of bundled competencies for patients and our hospital, this reorganization is also an important sign for our employees: In addition to medicine and administration, nursing is also represented at all operational management levels for the first time.
