In the course of the upcoming move to the new building of the Children’s Hospital Central Switzerland – still this year – we are specifically expanding our department for paediatric orthopaedics, paediatric neuro-orthopaedics and paediatric traumatology in the surgical clinic of the children’s hospital. We are creating new structures and expanding our team with a committed, professionally skilled leader. We are looking for reinforcement for our team immediately or by arrangement.
