Our Mission Statement

We offer our patients state-of-the-art diagnostics, treatment and care, tailored to their individual needs. The close collaboration between the hospital and the university, including its Faculty of Medicine, ensures the highest levels of effectiveness, safety and quality.

We treat patients with respect and as equals, support them in their decision-making with clear information, and take responsibility for the medical care provided. We view patients holistically and foster an atmosphere of trust and reliability.

We keep relatives informed in a sensitive, transparent and timely manner to foster a reliable and resilient partnership.

We act professionally and contribute to the success of the University Hospital through continuous development and innovation. In doing so, we adopt a coordinated and patient-centred approach, which is based on efficient processes.

A professional working relationship thrives on respect, fairness and constructive dialogue. Together, we aim to create a supportive working environment in which we support one another so that we can continually improve.

Leadership should provide guidance, motivate, be reliable and promote both professional and personal development.

Training, further education and professional development should be of a high standard, motivating and tailored to the requirements of a modern university hospital through interdisciplinary and inter-professional networking.

The partnership with the Faculty of Medicine is to be structured in a way that creates synergies and looks to the future, with a view to mutually strengthening research, teaching and patient care. Our aim is to present ourselves as a unified entity characterised by trust and transparency.

We build trust and confidence amongst the public by ensuring reliable, patient-centred and high-quality care, and by communicating this to the wider community. Citizens should be able to rely on efficient coordination within the hospital and strong links with regional partners in the healthcare sector.

In our collaboration with our partners, we take on a coordinating and supportive role. The aim is to foster a spirit of cooperation that creates added value, makes efficient use of resources and develops sustainable care structures for the long term. Transparent communication forms the basis for reliable partnerships – even where cooperation and competition are in tension with one another.

Networking with the business sector is intended to promote the transfer of new scientific findings into practice and drive innovation. The hospital acts as a platform for development and implementation in collaboration with the university.

The University Hospital is a reliable partner within the scientific, healthcare and education systems, acting with a focus on the future and responding to challenges in a flexible and forward-looking manner. Together, we make a significant contribution to excellent medical care, research and teaching, as well as to the further development of the public health system. In doing so, we use our resources responsibly and cost-effectively.
