Our Operations

At NIMA, the neurosurgical intermediate care unit, neurosurgical and neurological patients in need of intermediate or postoperative care are treated. Our acute intake mostly consists of intermediate care patients who are too ill for a regular ward but do not require full-scale intensive care. Our postoperative patients are usually part of a planned operation and come to us for a short period postoperatively.

Together with skilled nurses and doctors, we form a winning and developing team. We have a close collaboration with NIVA, which is on the same floor and ward, to make care as efficient and safe as possible for our patients. Our expertise is advanced monitoring of the body's vital parameters to create the best possible conditions for the brain and to reduce the risk of complications. Our staff group consists of both experienced nurses and nursing assistants as well as newly graduated ones.

Your Mission
