New groundbreaking in Wertingen: Nursing school for the future!

The nursing offspring is urgently required because qualified staff is essential for a functional health system. "With our new nursing school, we want to inspire young people in a contemporary manner for nursing training and at the same time counteract the shortage of skilled workers," explains Sonja Greschner, managing director of the Dillingen-Wertingen district clinics. The new building will significantly improve the training conditions for future nursing staff.

New training center for nursing staff

The planned building will include an impressive area of over 600 square meters and will extend over two floors. District Administrator Markus Müller, the chairman of the district clinics, emphasizes that trainees will have modern classes and practice rooms as well as a state-of-the-art skills Lab. In this facility, special care situations can be simulated realistically in order to enable the young specialists to provide practical training.

The construction costs for this project amount to around 3.14 million euros. Of these, 2.17 million euros are provided by the hospital structural assistant II, the Bavarian School Finance Act and the city of Wertingen. The goal is to complete the new nursing school until the training year 2026 in order to start the youngsters' training at an early stage.

The nursing school currently operates locations in two different locations that require investments due to structural conditions. The merging of the two locations in the new building should not only bring savings, but also synergy effects that make the training more efficient.

"If we want to be cared for in old age, we now have to invest in the training of nurses," emphasizes Stephan Härpfer, district manager of the Bavarian Red Cross in Dillingen. By merging the three vocational schools for health and nursing and geriatric care, the district clinics offer comprehensive training under the roof of the "Academy for Health and Nursing Professions", which will be of great importance for the region.
