Nursing Care

Nursing care is part and parcel of medical care. While providing care, we place particular emphasis on the provision of safe, individual, comprehensive care.

The staff members of the Nursing Care Division provide basic, as well as a highly specialized nursing care to patients and blood components donors. In their activity they follow the latest standards of safe nursing care based on a program of lifelong learning in the Czech Republic and in all Europe.

Our aim is to contribute that patients spend only the absolutely necessary time at IHBT and feel a maximum comfort. Patients and blood components donors are looked after by more than 100 general nurses with different levels of education and specialization, female and male hospital attendants and also, for instance, medical social workers, nutrition therapists or physiotherapists – all of them cooperate very closely with patients’ families and other close persons.

At the same time, the management of the Nursing Care Division contributes to the conception of therapeutic programs and strategic goals of the entire IHBT. The nursing staff members take an important part in the process of a systematic and continuous increase of the quality of provided care. Thus, they made a fundamental contribution to the acquisition of accreditation of the Joint Accreditation Committee (Czech abbreviation SAK) in December 2020.

In the course of the year we succeeded in activating and successfully developing the activity of the PICC team and to produce an information booklet for patients.

The nursing team members are also involved in standard and transplantation hematological care of all clinical departments of the IHBT.

Expert Activity of Non-Medical Personnel

Professional growth of nursing personnel occurs in connection with the needs of patients treated both in outpatient and inpatient part of the IHBT. Education of nurses is also supported by the IHBT in in-house specialization training programs, as well as on university ground. Nurses are included in specialization programs on a continuous basis with regard to operational capacity of the various centres.

The participation in short-term training and expert activities is facilitated to staff members depending on organizational and financial possibilities. When individual staff members are selected, their participation in training activities in the previous calendar year is always taken into account. In the course of a year the Nursing Division organizes its own specialized seminars and other training activities.
