  During your stay here you may be confronted with profound questions about faith or life. You can come to our pastoral service for a quiet and confidential conversation, rituals in case of illness or death and communion.

  Do you need this type of service? Please feel free to ask a nurse to contact our pastoral worker. In addition to our pastor, representatives of all other recognised faiths are on call.

• Psychological service

  Our psychological service assists patients who, due to health problems, are dealing with emotions such as fear, tension, sadness or anger. The service helps you to understand those feelings and to give them a place. If you still need psychological support after your discharge, this service will gladly refer you to an external psychological service.

• Liaison psychiatry

  Within the liaison psychiatry, the aim is to reduce the separation between psychiatry and the rest of medicine. In this way we try to improve the care for patients with mental and physical disorders. Our psychiatrist focuses on psychological disorders that occur in patients with physical ailments.

  In this context, the psychiatrist acts as a consultant or plays a supporting role in the treatment.

  This department is used as an internal referral channel. The consultation takes place at the request of the patient's attending physician.
