In the nursing quality management department, you are responsible for ensuring and continuously improving quality standards in nursing care. This includes analyzing care processes, developing measures for improvement and training nursing staff. Quality managers in the care sector work closely with the nursing staff and administration to ensure the best possible care for patients.
In order to work in quality management in care, you generally need training in the health or care sector, supplemented by special further training in quality management. This includes, for example, further training to become a quality officer or quality manager in nursing. A degree in nursing science can also be an advantage.
There are a variety of career opportunities in quality management nursing. In addition to working as a quality manager, you can specialize in specific areas such as risk management, project management or as an auditor. With the appropriate experience and further training, you can also take on managerial positions in the healthcare sector, e.g. as head of quality assurance or in the management of care facilities.
