Fresenius Medical Care

Looking at my allocated patient and getting their dialysis prescription ready  looking to see if they need any special care  .
They know the procedure.ensuring hand hygiene is carried out.
assessing client for fluid over load asking how they feel.Managing my 4 allocated clients in the same manner.making sure i time manage as there is a lot of KPI's and bloods to chase up Or making appointments with the allied health team and consultants
being a team member and helping other colleagues  with problems solving Teaching novice dialysis nurses.
The hardest part of my job is saying goodbye as we know that  dialysis is a palliative treatment unless they are lucky enough to get a kidney ,but most client are elderly or have other comorbidities 
The most enjoyable part is seeing my clients and their families making a difference to their day and if some one is lucky enough to get as kidney it's like winning the lottery all staff are happy and excited

Anyone looking to move to Fresenius from another company should think twice. I am told they have are very poor reputation in the market place, no fault of the worker and my observations support this. They have lost some significant contracts recently due to senior management decisions. Thank God I'm out of there.

Management & Senior staff in Head Office skills & experience below industry norms. Lack of strategic / commercial thinking. Chaotic reactive short sighted approach. No systems, processes or best practice frameworks.  

Relaxed by somethimes very busy and demanding but all in all a very good place to work, Learned a lot of the quality side and the use of QTRAK for NC CAPA's. The most enjoyable part of my job was the script testing and setting the records data base.

Management is very Autocratic - you do not have an opinion - if you do, it’s swept aside & it’s the manager wants to do even when it’s NOT the right approach!!! Very very sad for the new management to be running the organisation in this manner. They are loosing valuable people!

The nursing staff and higher management made my job harder than it should have been. My NUM was awsome. Some of the patients were hard work but in general they were all great.

Co-workers were toxic, lack of co-ordination and systems to make work effective. Managers blame entry staff without showing actual positive contributions.

Can do the job, come on time, hard worker, never take day off, work with a team, team leader, flexible, own car, welling to learn more, enthusiastic, I love working.

This company was my future all this new manager’s stuff it up use to be the best place to work and now going down not like before I work there for more than 20 years 

doesn’t really compensate if your dealing with other issues outside of work. 
Better if management was nicer and clearer on what they expected of you.
