Greifswald gets a new nursing school – 975 training places for the region!
The city of Greifswald can look forward to a significant development in the healthcare system: in 2026, a new nursing school is to be built in the immediate vicinity of the university medical center. This initiative is part of the efforts of the state government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to strengthen training in the health sector and thus secure the next generation of skilled workers in the region in the long term. As ndr.de reports, the state has earmarked an investment framework of almost 45 million euros from the federal government's special infrastructure fund.
The new facility will create a learning forum for a total of 975 training and further education positions as well as study places. 675 training positions are offered for various health professions. The list ranges from dietitians to orthopedists and speech therapists to laboratory assistants, nursing assistants and nursing assistants. In addition, 150 training and further education places are planned, as well as 150 study places for future specialists in clinical nursing sciences. The goal is clear: to create a qualified pool of skilled workers for the region that meets current and future needs.
Criticism of the distribution of money
In this context, Science Minister Bettina Martin (SPD) emphasized the high demand for skilled workers in the industry and emphasized the importance of the new school. The final determination of the location of the nursing school is expected to take place by the end of this year, while public procurement will take place in 2026.
In summary, it can be said that the construction of the nursing school in Greifswald is not only a ray of hope for training in the healthcare sector, but also an opportunity to make the region more attractive for aspiring skilled workers. The investment will help counteract the acute shortage of skilled workers and ensure the future of healthcare in the region.
