This includes three assistant doctors, nursing professionals as well as staff from psychology, psychotherapy and peer work. The management is carried out jointly with nursing and psychology. The collaboration is characterised by a lived informal culture, short decision-making paths, flat hierarchies and a familiar working atmosphere in which interprofessional exchange takes place on an equal footing.
