We are a teaching hospital, which means that nurses, doctors and other health professionals receive part of their training here. Medical students may accompany the medical team treating you. You may be asked if you are willing to take part in a teaching session that is attended by medical students. As a patient, you have an important part in the teaching work of the hospital, but if you do not want students to be involved in your care, please tell the lead nurse and/or doctor when you arrive on the ward.
