Context

The Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) is one of the 5 Swiss university hospitals. Thanks to its collaboration with the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne and EPFL, CHUV plays a leading role in medical care, medical research and education.

The medical-surgical hospitalisation unit includes 16 to 20 beds and admits patients aged from a few weeks to 18 years, presenting conditions related to paediatric surgery or medicine.

The care team is composed of nurses, community health care assistants and a care aide who work interdisciplinarily with doctors, physiotherapists, educators and occupational therapists.
