Pediatric service
Our team is multi-professional and currently consists of two pediatricians, a specialist in another field, a social medical assistant, two medical assistants and a nurse.
The legal basis for our work is described in the Lower Saxony Public Health Service Act (NGöGD), the Lower Saxony School Act (NSchG) and the Infection Protection Act (IfSG).
The basis of our medical work is the socio-pediatric view of the child and its environment. We not only consider the child's physical health, but also their mental health and psychosocial aspects.
We work together with doctors in private practice, clinics, schools, childcare facilities, integration assistance, early help services, various institutions and associations from the broad spectrum of health promotion and administration.
