Shared Governance – a culture of collaboration
All departments involved in nursing form a single unit and work together as partners. We encourage personal responsibility: our nursing teams play an active role in decision-making processes and help shape their working environment. Nursing development and training are key partners in the continuous improvement of nursing care and in supporting the next generation of staff.
Management
Nursing management provides support and coordination. It encourages open dialogue, allocates resources and oversees projects that continuously improve the quality of nursing care and training. It also promotes innovation, quality and staff satisfaction. This, in turn, benefits our patients.
Development
In various specialist committees, we analyse current issues and assess scientific findings to determine their practical application in everyday practice. The nursing development team draws up new nursing guidelines and concepts and implements them. It advises and supports nursing staff across all departments in applying these in their day-to-day work.
Training
Zuger Kantonsspital is one of the largest employers and a major training provider in the canton of Zug. Of our approximately 1,200 staff members, more than 180 are currently undertaking initial or further training. In nursing and therapy, we offer modern, practice-oriented vocational training. Particular emphasis is placed on patient-centred care and on key competencies such as empathy, a sense of responsibility and teamwork.
