Whether they are examining patients, responding to emergencies, carrying out operations, delivering therapies, or providing care - employees in medical professions perform an amazingly multifaceted range of tasks, working in close contact with people who need their help. It is all the more important to ensure they enjoy safe, healthy working conditions.

Visitors can find out at first hand about the abilities and skills required in these critical jobs. There are exciting interactive displays in every part of the exhibition. Anyone who wants to can test their dexterity with surgical instruments or try out a disability bike. Models of all kinds of viruses, a hidden picture puzzle of the emergency services dealing with an incident, and playful activities such as a quiz about emergency sirens convey serious information in entertaining ways.

The exhibition is aimed not just at experts, but above all at families and school classes, and is intended not least to get young people interested in healthcare careers. It is the only comprehensive exhibition about the contemporary world of healthcare work anywhere in Germany.
