The Gemeinschaftskrankenhaus Herdecke (GKH) [Herdecke Community Hospital] is a hospital in the city of Herdecke in the district of Westende in Germany. The GKH is a cooperating hospital of the University of Witten-Herdecke. It is specialised in the field of integrative medicine with a focus on anthroposophic medicine.
History
The hospital was inaugurated in 1969 and was the first anthroposophically oriented hospital in Germany. One of the main founders of the hospital was Gerhard Kienle (1923-1983).[1] A main motive in the social design of the founding period was flat hierarchies without chief physicians and head nurses.[1][2] Kienle intended to create a university in association with the hospital. This led to the founding of Witten/Herdecke University.
Research and education
The hospital hosts five integrative medical professorships/chairs:
- Integrative neuromedicine (Wolfram Scharbrodt)
- Integrative pediatrics (Alfred Längler)
- Quality of life/spirituality/coping (Arndt Büssing)
- Education, Training and Continuing Education in Anthroposophic Medicine (Friedrich Edelhäuser)
- Gerhard Kienle Chair of Medical Theory, Integrative and Anthroposophic Medicine (David Martin)
For medical students of Witten/Herdecke University there is an Integrated Curriculum for Anthroposophic Medicine (ICURAM)[3][4][5]. A similar program exists for students of psychology [Integrated Companion Program in Spiritual and Anthroposophical Psychology (IBAP)].[6]
Together with the University of Witten/Herdecke, the GKH operates training stations for medical students in the practical year in four departments, in which the students take over patient care under the supervision of physicians.[7][8] These were developed as part of the Integrated Curriculum for Anthroposophic Medicine (ICURAM),[8] are based on international training projects (Clinical Education Wards)[8][9] and received a NRW teaching award in 2015.[10]
On the grounds of the hospital is the Dörte Krause-Institute, a nursing school. It was founded in 1970 and has 75 nursing training positions.
