Code of Conduct of the University Hospital Augsburg
How we work and live together in healthcare, research and teaching!
We combine research and teaching with the well-being of the people entrusted to us. This is our mission as a university hospital. Through continuous dialogue between science and practice, we are committed to the common good and society.
To this end, we assume great legal and ethical responsibility towards patients, employees, contractual and cooperation partners and the Bavarian-Swabian region.
The Code serves as a measuring instrument for us to reflect on our behaviour and comply with standards and laws. At the same time, it strengthens our cohesion and forms a central pillar for a sustainable compliance management system.
Our principles and values
The Code of Conduct applies to all employees of the University Hospital Augsburg and its subsidiary(ies) as well as the employees of the Free State of Bavaria working at the University Hospital Augsburg. We comply with it as a benchmark for all our actions.
Special regulations in laws, ordinances, collective agreements, service agreements, internal guidelines (procedural and service instructions, statutes, regulations as well as safety and quality regulations) remain unaffected.
In good hands: our patients
Every day, countless people place their trust in our expertise. As part of our care mandate, we ensure that they are in good hands: We do everything we can to ensure that they receive the best possible treatment and feel that they are in safe hands.
Our mission in teaching, research and healthcare
A sound, research-based and practice-orientated education is at the heart of the qualification of future doctors.
Data protection and communication
Each and every one of us attaches great importance to protecting the personal data of our patients and employees. We want to ensure that everyone can rely on the protection of their privacy. We also handle information responsibly in our public relations work - in line with our values and the trust placed in us.
Labour law
We are proud of the fact that we have developed from a municipal company into a university hospital. Due to this special history, we are subject to a large number of statutory, collectively agreed and internal regulations in the area of labour law , which are of great importance to us.
Transparency
A task that unites us: Transparent compliance with our anti-corruption rules, conscientious documentation and neutrality when awarding contracts and concluding agreements form the basis of our responsible behaviour.
Sustainability
At Augsburg University Hospital, we are deeply committed to our environment and the natural foundations of life. Together, we prioritize the responsible use of resources and are committed to anchoring environmental protection in all our decisions.
