Nurses in neonatology intensive and intermediate care

To complete its team, the woman-mother-child department is looking for qualified nurses with an activity rate between 80% and 100% for the neonatology intensive and intermediate care unit.

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 Woman-Mother-Child Department (DFME) brings together the Gynecology, Obstetrics, Neonatology, Pediatrics, and Child and Adolescent Surgery Services. More than 1,500 professionals work within this department. We care for women throughout their lives on gynecological, obstetrical, and psychosocial levels, as well as children from birth to adolescence.

The Neonatology Service's mission is to provide specialized care to all high-risk newborns, whether full-term or premature. Focused on the personalization and development of the child and the involvement of parents, care is integrated into a multidisciplinary team operation that ensures continuity of care from the delivery room to the child's return home or to a pediatric service near the home.

The neonatology service in numbers includes:

• A level III reference center for intensive and specialized care for premature newborns or those with complex pathologies
• Three units (intensive care, intermediate care, specialized care including a skin-to-skin unit) that welcome more than 800 newborns each year
• More than 160 caregivers who play a key role in the overall care of the child and their family.
