Patient Care

Patient care at NCT

The nursing/patient services at NCT include diverse occupational groups, such as nurses in general and nurses specialized in oncology; medical assistants; medical and general secretaries; and service and supply assistants. All group members work according to their expertise in the different NCT outpatient clinics and day care units. They all share a common objective: To ensure a smooth treatment procedure for all patients at NCT.

In the NCT building, patients from all oncologic departments of the Heidelberg University Hospital are threated on an outpatient and day care basis.

The main focus of the patient care in the day care units is the coordination of clinical trials and therapy schemes, from port puncture and infusion management to specialized aftercare and individualized counseling on care. This also includes naturopathic treatment methods.

Due to the intensive contact to the patients during their therapies, the nursing services function as a central point of contact at the interface between physicians, nurses, and counseling services at NCT.
