Fight for the future: Lack of Personnel in Schwerin's children's clinic alarming!

The Helios Clinic in Schwerin is currently the focus of intensive discussions about the lack of staff in the children's clinic. Employees contacted the clinic management with an open letter and express serious concerns about the medical care of the small patients. They warn that the clinic's supply mandate is at risk if the current Situation should not change soon. The lack of nurses, therapists and doctors, such as ndr.de

The clinic management has not rejected the allegations as objectively and assures that there are no planned or current restrictions on pediatric medical services. But politicians like Sebastian Ehlers from the CDU emphasize that they have to be taken seriously. The Ministry of Health of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is also planning to ask questions about security of care, especially in view of the fact that Alexander von Dömming was hired as the new chief physician of the Carl-Friedrich-Flemming-Klinik on March 1st.

growing staff shortage

Not only in the children's clinic, but also in other areas of the Helios Clinic Schwerin, there are worrying developments. I particularly affected the reports on the dismissals of 50 to 60 employees of a subsidiary who take on essential service tasks. These layoffs lead to noticeable gaps in everyday clinical life and force the remaining nursing staff to take on additional tasks such as the food edition and bed making. This is described by Schwerin.news in detail.

The clinic management strives for a solution and has introduced a “skill mix” model in which teams from different qualified staff share the work. Nevertheless, many nurses feel overloaded because they are strongly demanded by additional duties. Despite the possibility of dismissed service staff for further training in nursing professions, this measure is viewed as a long -term strategy that cannot immediately alleviate the acute lack of personnel. Operating terminations are not planned, but the uncertainty remains great.

causes and solutions for the shortage of skilled workers

The shortage of skilled workers in German healthcare is a far -reaching problem that is reinforced by various factors. According to an analysis of pwc.de , an appropriate salary for the incentive in care is. 68 percent of those willing and unemployed state that the payment would have to be improved in order to remain in nursing in the long term. Even better working hours and better staffing are essential factors that could increase the attractiveness of the nursing profession.

The Helios Clinic Schwerin seems to be aware of these challenges. However, the question remains whether the existing strategies are sufficient to improve the situation and to satisfy both patients and employees. Unfortunately, long waiting times and overloaded staff will remain the order of the day until the problems are remedied.
