Nurse Medical Psychiatric Unit (MPU)

On the Medical Psychiatric Unit (MPU), patients with medium- to highly complex somatic issues are nursed. Psychiatric co-morbidity also plays a role here. All specialties treated by Erasmus MC can be seen on the MPU. Because of this, you will encounter a wide spectrum of clinical pictures and treatments on the MPU.

As a nurse on the MPU, you provide somatic care as well as psychiatric care and guidance. You must be able to treat patients with any level of somatic care intensity; patients that you would also see on a regular nursing ward at Erasmus MC. And you must be able to provide psychiatric care such as this is done on a regular psychiatric unit.

The possibility exists to follow the Hospital Psychiatry training in the future.
