You're in good hands with us

Our work focuses on providing the best possible

medical care and respect for our patients. This

holistic approach, which encompasses the

individual's physical, psychological and social

needs, is one that we practise every day in our

hospital. To help us do this, we remain receptive

to new developments in patient care and medi-

cal science and we are constantly improving

our skills. Our treatment, nursing and support

concept is holistic and coordinated on a patient-

by-patient basis. We regard our profession as a

social mandate that we want to help shape and

define. As a result, we always provide high-

quality treatment and care in a friendly setting

and have a positive, obliging attitude towards

our patients and their relatives.

Meeting us for the first time

We want you to feel at home with us. So

we're here for you right from the start.

Over the next few pages, we have put to-

gether all of the key information for you:

from arriving to admission and optional

services. The "A day with us" section also

tells you more about what happens on our

wards.

How to get to our hospital

Parking spaces

Visitors can park free for 30 minutes in our

underground garage and on the car park on the

Augustinergelände. Otherwise the usual local

parking charges are levied.

Bus (public transport) If you are planning to arrive and leave by bus,

we recommend using Line 1. It stops just by the

hospital. Stops can be found on the Sebastian-

strasse, near the Courts of Justice, and on the

Gabelsbergerstrasse (Klinikum/Stadtfriedhof).

The hospital is just a few minutes' walk from

there.

Admission

As an inpatient

The team in the admissions department on the

first floor is your first point of contact in our

building. To register you as a patient, we will re-

quire some information as well as your doctor's

referral letter and your health insurance card.

As an outpatient

If you want to be treated at our facility as an

outpatient, please arrange an appointment in

the relevant specialist clinic with one of our

secretaries. They will also be able to advise you

which treatments will be covered by insurance

funds.

In an emergency

In our emergency department, we provide

24-hour care to patients with acute injuries or

conditions. The entrance for stretcher cases is

via the Söllnerstrasse. Patients are registered

in the central admissions department on the

first floor. We deal with paediatric emergen-

cies directly in our paediatric department. This

can be accessed via the main entrance on the

Söllnerstrasse.

Labor and delivery

Patients who are about to give birth should

contact our reception team directly.

Hospital hostesses

To make finding your way around easy, our

hospital hostesses are available as a special

service, ready to assist you as soon as you are

admitted. Our staff will be on hand to offer

practical advice to ensure that you feel at home

straight away. They will escort you to the ward

and will be happy to provide you with any other

information you need.

Private health care service

In addition to general hospital services, we also

offer you the option of arranging other special

services and comfort services with us. These

will be charged separately and on a contractual

basis between the patient and the hospital.

Statutory health insurance funds do not usually

cover optional services. Please therefore seek

advice beforehand regarding which services are

covered.

nies require a supplement of Euro 10 per day

for a maximum of 28 days per calendar year.

You can pay this at our reception. We will then

forward your supplement to the insurance fund.

Optional services

The comfort services we offer include:

• Accommodation in single and twin-bed rooms

• Wider choice of food and drink

• Extended services or assistance

• Accommodation and provision of food and drink for a companion

Supplement

The supplement does not have to be paid by:

• Patients under the age of 18

A day with us

The day on our ward begins at around 06.30 am. As well as waking patients up, the

nursing team will make up beds, provide as-

sistance to physically incapacitated patients

with their daily ablutions and will also change

dressings.

The ward staff will bring breakfast to your room

at around 08.00 am. We then prepare patients

for any investigations they are due to have and

order any medicines for the following day.

Lunch is served at around 11.15 am. If you are

not having any further investigations in the

afternoon, you will have sufficient time to

receive visitors or to rest.

At around 01.30 pm. we come round with tea

and coffee. We carry out further nursing duties

in an afternoon.

We bring round your evening meal at

around 05.00 pm.

The ward winds down for the night at 09.00 pm. We are of course also available

during the night should you need anything.

Simply press the patient call bell.

10

Your stay

After admission, all of the formalities are

complete. You now have time to settle

yourself in your room, choose your menu

for the following day and to get your

bearings. If you have any questions, or

you would like more information, please

contact the ward staff. They will be happy

to assist you.

Room Furnishing and Accessoires

Our rooms all have modern facilities and are

mostly equipped with their own wet room (WC

and shower). Every room has a telephone, radio

and TV. Our coffee and tea bar on the ward can

also be used free of charge in an afternoon.

House rules

We want our patients to be able to recover in a

calm and peaceful environment. We therefore

ask you to take a moment to consider our

house rules. You will find the full list of our

house rules in the information folder in your

room. It includes notes on separating waste,

smoking and alcohol, etc.

11

Meals

A balanced and varied diet can make a big dif-

ference to your health. Our kitchen chef and his

team use only high-quality products, primarily

sourced from our local area, in the preparation

of your meals.

Kitchen hostesses

Our kitchen hostesses are the link between the

kitchen and our patients. They come and visit

you every day and note down your meal choices.

We offer you a wide choice of breakfast, lunch

and evening meals. You can either put together

a dish yourself or choose one of the suggested

dishes from our menu of the day.

Your stay

Telephone, radio, TV

We know that your time in hospital can pass

very slowly. This is why we offer you a range

of entertainment media. Directly next to your

bed is our control system used to operate the

telephone, radio and TV. The brochure in your

night stand will explain how they all work.

Here are the essentials at a glance.

How to use

The TV and telephone are used with a special

chip card. These can be obtained for a deposit

at the reception desk or from patient admis-

sions. You can then load your required sum

onto your card at one of the card machines or at

reception. When you return your chip card to

us, we will give you back your deposit and any

credit you have left on the card.

Costs

All radio channels are free for you to listen to,

even without a chip card. The telephone and

TV can be used for a daily flat-rate fee. This

fee includes unlimited calls to the German land

line and to D1, D2, E-Plus and O2 providers.

Our TV package offers over 20 TV channels,

including six Sky channels.

TV and telephone flat-rate fee per day

TV and telephone package Euro 3.80

Headphones (disposable) Euro 2.50

enabled devices in virtually all patient rooms,

in the entrance hall and in the café. If you have

any questions or need assistance, please contact

our reception staff.

We’re here for you

Stoma advice

Artificial stool or urine drains are a sensitive

procedure and often cause psychological stress.

We support and advise you on how to cope with

your stoma and show you how to look after it.

Our stoma therapist works closely with doctors,

nursing staff and the social services team to do

this. If you wish, we can of course also provide

your relatives with tips and information about

personal hygiene and how to care for your

stoma. Our counselling department will also

discuss sensitive matters with you.

Paediatric follow-up

If a child is born prematurely, is chronically ill

or has been seriously injured in an accident, the

lives of the affected family are changed dramati-

cally. The Paediatric Follow-Up Department

offers the families of such children holistic and

personal support during and after their stay

in hospital. As part of the transfer of care, we

strive to achieve as smooth a transition as possi-

ble between inpatient treatment and outpatient

care.

Together with the 'Bunter Kreis Nordoberpfalz'

organisation, we have an interdisciplinary team

on hand to provide the best possible support to

the family.

Expert nurses

Specialist oncology nurses:

For those affected and their families, a diag-

nosis of cancer is a huge source of worry. As

oncology specialists, we provide support and we

are the first port of call for any questions you

may have. We can provide information about

how diagnostic procedures and treatments are

carried out and we arrange nursing care. We are

here for you even after you have left hospital.

Specialist breast nurse

As experts in conditions affecting the breasts,

we act as companions and contacts for women

with breast cancer. We support patients by

always being there for them and through close

contact - from the moment the diagnosis is

made to their return to everyday life. We want to

make sure you are involved in your treatment,

helping to determine what happens, and we

do this by providing you with comprehensive

explanations and advice.

Breastfeeding advice

To ensure that breastfeeding mothers and their

babies get the best advice right from the start,

our paediatric nurses have undergone further

training to become breastfeeding advisers. They

support women after the birth on the ward and,

after discharge, provide an opportunity for them

to obtain advice twice a month at our "Breast-

feeding Café at the Hospital".

Wound care management

Modern wound care allows wounds to heal in a

shorter space of time. This requires a lot of spe-

cialist expertise: as well as wound monitoring,

wound genesis and wound diagnosis, the choice

of dressing, careful hygiene and the patient

history also have a role to play. Our ICW wound

expert will be happy to advise you on the care

options available.

Nutrition consultation centre

With some conditions, a change of diet can have

a positive influence on your recovery. Follow-

ing a prescription from your doctor, we will be

happy to arrange an appointment for you with

our dietician. Relatives and contacts are also

welcome to come with you. We offer you advice

on how you can change your eating habits.

Diabetes advice

A healthy lifestyle, the right diet and the right

dose of medications are crucial for patients with

diabetes: In our advice centre, we explain the

condition, the possible secondary conditions

that can occur and the treatment methods used.

Of course we also offer special educational

courses. You will need a referral note from your

GP for these.

Health problems and associated inpatient stays

can result in changes to everyday life that are

sometimes temporary but often permanent.

Kliniken Nordoberpfalz AG offers its patients

not only the very best care, but also the ability

to seek help with managing such changes. Pa-

tients can expect practical support from the staff

in the "Patient coordination" department. In

some departments, invitations and ward alloca-

tions are already handled by our department.

During your stay in hospital, consultations

are held with the patient and their relatives in

which the patient's individual care needs after

hospital are discussed. On the basis of this

assessment and while respecting the patient's

wishes, our staff coordinate the patient's dis-

charge so that the patient only has to focus on

one thing: getting better.

"The little that you can do is a lot" Albert Schweitzer

The Förderverein für Schwerkranke organisation is responsible for people in the region and supports the outpatient and inpatient treatment of patients with serious and chronic illnesses. In line with the ideas of Albert Schweitzer, its members regard it as their ethical and moral duty to make a contribution towards widespread, exceptional and unconditional care given especially to seriously ill people.

Effective explanations, information and follow-up are intended to ensure that all patients from the region receive holistic care. The funds are used to provide modern medical equipment and to improve infrastructures, as well as to provide doctors and nurses with further training. With your donation, you are also safeguarding assistance and support for those affected and their relatives as they come to terms with the burden of the condition. So you see, with a donation to the Förderverein, you too can do something for seriously ill people.

Since we cannot accept any liability in the

event of loss, we recommend that you do not

bring any large sums of money into hospital

with you. If you need cash, you can obtain it at

any time in the foyer - not far from reception -

using the ATM provided by the Stadtsparkasse

Weiden.

Cash desk

Please be aware that we can only accept cash

payments at the reception desk on the ground

floor. This is where you can pay supplements

such as the hospital daily allowance, for example.

Park

Post

A letterbox can be found in the entrance hall

for any post you may wish to send. Stamps can

be purchased from the kiosk. If you wish to

receive post in hospital, you should tell rela-

tives and acquaintances which ward and which

room number you are in, as this will help us

deliver the post to you more quickly. We deliver

any mail you receive every day in the morning

(except on Sundays and public holidays).

Visitors

Our visiting times are very flexible. Please be

aware, however, that having visitors can be

quite a strain for you and your fellow patients,

especially if visitors come in groups and stay for

a while. For medical reasons, it may be neces-

sary for us to restrict visiting times, for example

after an operation. Visits to the intensive care

unit can be arranged by agreement.

Would you prefer not to have visitors? Please

discuss this with your nursing staff.

Head Physician Dr. Jürgen Altmeppen is in charge of this specialist department at Weiden Hospi-

tal. Since anaesthesia is a major and unfamiliar procedure, we take the time to discuss it in advance

with the patient. We have at our disposal all of the modern methods used in general anaesthesia and

the full range of regional anaesthesia techniques that are used close to the spinal cord. During the

operation, the anaesthetist monitors the patient's vital functions, ensures they are free from pain

and makes sure they are positioned correctly. After the operation, the anaesthetist monitors the

patient's recovery and provides assistance to the wards when required on matters relating to pain

therapy. A 24-hour staff rota ensures that anaesthetic doctors and nurses are always able to play

their role in ensuring the best possible care for seriously ill patients on the surgical intensive care

unit.

General, Thoracic and Abdominal Surgery, which has 80 beds, since 2006. We treat patients with

conditions of the digestive organs, the endocrine glands, the lungs and the pleura using open and

minimally invasive techniques. Every intervention is preceded by an in-depth consultation and a

thorough physical examination. The doctors then decide which additional investigations may be

required in order to optimise the outcome of the operation. We also carry out standard operations on

new-born and premature babies with subsequent intensive care. As well as planning surgery, our

doctors of course also look after patients after their operation up until their discharge.

Dr. Eberhard Müller has been in charge of our state-of-the-art department with around 40 beds

since August 2005. We specialise in treating diseases of the arteries and veins, including venous

ulcers, we carry out shunt surgery on dialysis patients and treat patients with chronic wounds, espe-

cially in cases of diabetic foot syndrome. The consultation is very important for us, regardless of the

procedure: with the patient's input, we define the treatment concept and work in line with state-

of-the-art principles. We routinely use interventional methods (such as balloon catheter dilatation,

the use of vascular stents) and surgical methods or a combination of the two. Aortic aneurysms

(abnormal widening of the largest artery in the body) in particular are in many cases resolved using

endovascular techniques. We have a hybrid operating theatre featuring the very best equipment

to help us do this. Venous conditions, especially varicose veins, are treated with the least invasive

surgical approach possible, and usually as an outpatient.

of them are born prematurely, and these babies are given the best chance possible of survival in our

perinatal centre, which works closely with the paediatric department. In our gynaecological surgery

department, we are very experienced in using all of the methods at our disposal, from state-of-the-

art minimally invasive surgery (keyhole surgery) to radical tumour surgery. Our specialists are of

course also able to treat prolapses and problems with incontinence (including the implantation of

tapes and meshes). Another area of specialism is the treatment of conditions affecting the breast,

starting with screening, continuing through surgical techniques and culminating in follow-on treat-

ment in line with the latest guidelines.

involving state-of-the-art techniques such as cardiac imaging and virtual colonoscopy. The depart-

ment specialises in X-ray guided therapeutic methods. With this technique, we treat vascular

disease and tumours, carry out targeted tissue sampling, drain deep abscesses and carry out

pain-relieving procedures. A separate department, led by a neuro-radiologist, has been integrated

to provide treatment for conditions affecting the central nervous system and peripheral nerves.

Working closely with the Department of Neurology, patients who have suffered an acute stroke

are treated here. The separate "Local Tumour Therapy" unit, under the leadership of Consultant

Stephan Lenhart, was established in 2015. In addition to inpatients, we also treat patients who have

been referred to our private outpatient clinic.

malignant tumours in combination with chemotherapy, hormone therapy and immunotherapy. We

also define indications and provide advice and treatment for all benign conditions, chronic joint

diseases and tendon insertion inflammations that can be treated with radiotherapy. Since April

2009, patients have been treated as outpatients at the Medical Care Centre.

Since June 2010, two of the latest-generation linear accelerators have been used to offer innovative

radiotherapy techniques such as IMRT/VMAT, IGRT and radio-surgery.

Head Physician Dr. med. Johann Schönberger

Specialist in Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear Medicine has been a separate institute at Weiden Hospital since 2008 and is led by Dr. Jo-

hann Schönberger. We offer all modern diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures, including PET/CT.

We also carry out nuclear medicine-based treatments that are not linked to radio-iodine treatment.

To be able to image disease or abnormal metabolic processes in our patients' bodies, we administer

medications that are tagged with weakly radioactive substances and visualise their distribution

using a gamma camera. Nuclear medicine is used in the context of cancer, heart disease and brain

abnormalities, for example. As a central department, we take care of patients who have been admit-

ted to Weiden Hospital and the other hospitals operated by the Kliniken Nordoberpfalz AG group.

We also treat outpatients, these being patients with statutory or private insurance, via the affiliated

Medical Care Centre in Weiden.

Our department, with eight treatment stations, treats semi-resident patients with acute and chronic

pain, regardless of its cause. The department's team therefore includes doctors specialising in

anaesthetics, general medicine and neurology as well as therapists from a range of disciplines: psy-

chotherapists, physiotherapists, relaxation trainers, social education workers and specially trained

nurses. The first step in the treatment regime is a detailed admission process, while the actual

emphasis of treatment lies on a multi-modal pain management programme in groups for adults, the

elderly and children.

The Clinic also provides consultations to patients experiencing pain in all of Weiden Hospital's

inpatient wards and units and offers the team's skills as part of an interdisciplinary pain conference

of registered and practising doctors and psychotherapists. The Clinic also recommends further diag-

nostic and therapeutic measures, helping to improve pain management for patients in the region.

Socio-Paediatric Centre of the Kliniken Nordoberpfalz AG

Dr. med. Susanne Rinnert

Paediatrician / Paediatric Neurologist

The Weiden Socio-Paediatric Centre (SPC) is one of 18 centres across Bavaria to offer outpatient

socio-paediatric care for children with chronic neurological conditions and for children with dis-

abilities or at threat of disability in the northern part of the Upper Palatinate. The centre, which

is led by doctors but operates on an interdisciplinary basis with various other professions, is

based in terms of its structure on the specifications of Social Security Statute Book V.

In the Socio-Paediatric Centre, children with developmental issues and children with chronic ill-

nesses or disabilities are investigated and, once the diagnostic procedures are complete, offered

advice and a holistic treatment concept. Any support needed is also coordinated here. Children

are cared for here from the ages of 0 to 18. As well as providing medical and therapeutic care

for the patient, families are also supported in coming to terms with their child's condition and

managing their everyday lives.

Alongside the work of the highly skilled staff, the very friendly and child-centred amenities in

the centre ensure a pleasant experience for children undergoing investigations, while the posi-

tive environment also alleviates the worries of parents concerned about their children's health

and development. To ensure the prompt diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of children and

satisfactory advice for their families, staff at the centre work closely with colleagues within exist-

ing networks incorporating paediatric and GP practices, registered therapists, support centres,

North East Bavarian Perinatal Centre

The Level 1 Perinatal Centre in Amberg and

Weiden offers patients the ideal location in

which to enjoy care and support not just for

normal pregnancies and births, but also for pre-

mature babies and high-risk pregnancies. The

independent obstetric and neonatal departments

with neonatal intensive care unit and appro-

priately qualified doctors and nurses therefore

define the highest possible standard of service

and quality for perinatal centres.

With well over 2,800 births in total each year,

the departments involved rank among Ger-

many's major obstetric and neonatal facilities.

The Amberg-Weiden Perinatal Centre provides

highly skilled care close to home for premature

and new-born babies in the northern Upper

Palatinate region. Shared training and quality

assurance projects ensure constant development

and the integration of the latest research find-

ings. The concept of a shared perinatal centre,

in which specialists from adjoining departments

cooperate very intensively, was first established

in the North East Bavaria Perinatal Centre.

Several other facilities in Bavarian now also

work very successfully together in perinatal

centre networks.

Regional Trauma Centre

Since 02.10.2009, Weiden Hospital has been

certified as a regional trauma centre. Since

01.04.2011 it has been the base for the Christoph

80 rescue helicopter. It has played a key role in

providing comprehensive care for accident victims

in the northern Upper Palatinate region. Under the

guidance of the Department of Trauma Surgery,

the trauma centre is brilliantly equipped to care

for patients with multiple injuries and treats

around 100 seriously injured people a year. The

surgical intensive care unit, with 19 intensive care

beds, is available for providing onward care for

patients, so that the trauma centre is in a constant

state of readiness to receive patients who have

been injured in accidents of all degrees of serious-

ness. The successful re-certification and approval

as a trauma centre (VAV) by the German Society of

Accident Insurers confirms that we offer the best

possible care for seriously injured patients.

Weiden Endoprosthetics Centre

For many years, our department has focused on

providing high-quality care to patients with joint

problems. To increase patient safety and treat-

ment quality even further, we have established

receive treatment from experienced specialists.

We meet the key scientifically supported crite-

ria for providing safe and high-quality medi-

cal care to patients undergoing artificial joint

replacements in our Endoprosthesis Centre.

Our treatment concept includes surgeons with

many years' experience who are highly skilled

in endoprosthetics, as well as internal and

external cooperation partners, to ensure the best

possible interdisciplinary collaboration between

the various specialisms.


• Primary total hip and knee implantation

• Endoprosthetics for soft tissue and bone

tumours (modular tumour endoprostheses)

• Replacement operations following loosening

or infection

The future of surgery: modern technology in the OR

Kliniken Nordoberpfalz AG is investing in the

future - and therefore in the wellbeing of its

patients. New and complex treatment methods

require high-quality equipment for the surgeons

to use. We are equipped for these challenges

with three highly modern operating theatres, al-

lowing us to offer our patients even better care.

Hybrid operating theatre

The modern operating theatre is fully equipped

and has additional high-performance imaging

technology: a special CT machine and angiog-

raphy system for imaging blood vessels allow

the surgeons to work with absolute precision.

The new hybrid operating theatre has a robot-

controlled X-ray system that can be positioned

very accurately over the patient. It allows

angiographies to be performed and 3D images

to be taken.

Integrated operating theatre

Through optimised networking, we are able to

guarantee a new standard of quality for our oper-

ations in the integrated operating theatre thanks

to increased interdisciplinary collaboration. The

operating theatre equipment is controlled using a

touchscreen. The digitised image and video data

is available throughout the hospital.

Orthopaedic operating theatre

With an additional orthopaedic operating theatre,

we have more space for operations. Waiting times

for patients are therefore reduced.

Stroke UnitThe future of surgery: modern technology in the OR

A stroke unit with ten treatment stations has

been annexed to the Neurology Department

since 2003. On this special unit, we treat stroke

patients with an interdisciplinary approach: our

team comprises doctors from the fields of neu-

rology, cardiology, neuro-radiology and vascular

surgery, along with specially trained nursing

staff, physiotherapists, occupational therapists

and speech therapists as well as rehabilitation

advisers. Since every minute counts for stroke

patients, we need to be able to weigh up deci-

sions very quickly. Our admission procedure

from the patient's arrival in the emergency ad-

missions unit to their onward care on the ward

is therefore designed so that there are no delays.

conditions for the best possible treatment outcomes in all medical disciplines. We support patients

as they improve and restore their normal physical functions and quality of life, for instance after ac-

cidents, sporting injuries, neurological conditions, postural and spinal damage and cardiovascular

and rheumatological diseases. Treatment often starts on the intensive care unit and is continued on

the normal ward. For our young patients in the paediatric department, we have a specially trained

team who take care of the support and treatment. Following your discharge, we will be happy to

continue supporting you as an outpatient.
