Do you like being active at night or are you planning to return to work after a "family break"?
The Social Paediatric Centre (SPZ) is an organisational unit at the Centre for Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine of the Winterthur Cantonal Hospital. The therapy ward for children and adolescents was established for the inpatient psychosomatics area.
The therapy ward caters for a total of 12-14 patients who are treated for psychosomatic illnesses (including eating disorders, depression, pain disorders). The children and adolescents are cared for and supported during the day by an interdisciplinary team consisting of social pedagogues and nursing professionals in a milieu-therapeutic setting. During the night, patient care is ensured by a nursing professional.
