organization

The Nuremberg Clinic has 42 clinics and institutes covering all medical fields.

The hospital's control body is the administrative board, consisting of the mayor and members of the city council of Nuremberg. The board of directors consists of four equal members, whereby the chairman of the board has the final decision-making authority in the event of a tie. The other three board members are each responsible for the areas of infrastructure and control, those responsible for structural development and medicine, as well as personnel and patient care.

Since January 19, 2006, the three district hospitals in the Nuremberg region ( Lauf an der Pegnitz , Hersbruck and Altdorf near Nuremberg ) have also been part of the Nuremberg Clinic. A special feature of the Nuremberg Clinic is the cooperative clinic management: each clinic (or medical specialist department) is jointly managed by a chief physician and a clinic nursing management.

The clinic strives for family-friendly working conditions. This includes 16 different working time models and in-house day-care centers in the medical and nursing fields. The clinic has received the basic certificate “Work & Family Audit” from Beruf und Familie gGmbH of the non-profit Hertie Foundation .

In June 2015, hospital employees protested against staff shortages; according to Ver.di calculations, more than 700 employees are missing in Nuremberg .
