Gearing up for the future

15 June 2023

The university hospital group Universitätsklinikverbund (UKV) of the Brandenburg Medical School (MHB) is gearing up for the future. The plan is to identify upcoming challenges and decide on coordinated action so that university medicine and patient care in Brandenburg can be expanded and made future-proof. These and many other issues were in the focus of the first UKV Strategy Day 2023 in Werder an der Havel on 14 June, attended by about 80 representatives from the MHB and its associated university hospitals: Universitätsklinikum Ruppin-Brandenburg, Universitätsklinikum Immanuel Klinikum Bernau Herzzentrum Brandenburg, Universitätsklinikum Brandenburg an der Havel, and Universitätsklinikum Immanuel Klinik Rüdersdorf. Participants met in various thematic rooms to discuss common potentials, chances, visions, open questions and worries.

Dr. Gunnar Pietzner from the board of the UKV evoked the vision from which the MHB started out in 2014 and which has become a reality. In conclusion of the first strategy day, he said that many of the suggestions collected will certainly be implemented and serve as a basis for a joint master plan for the hospitals and the MHB, as a further significant step for university medicine in Brandenburg.
