Peking University Shenzhen Hospital

Special Consultation Geriatrics Department

The Special Care Ward and the Department of Geriatrics are among Shenzhen’s important bases for cadre health care, undertaking medical and health-care duties for central, provincial, municipal, and department- and bureau-level leaders. The patients primarily admitted are health-care beneficiaries, foreign guests, and patients with special needs. The department has successfully completed various important cadre health-care and special-needs medical assignments and has repeatedly received high praise from central, provincial, and municipal leaders. It also operates a geriatrics outpatient clinic, making medical care more convenient for elderly patients. The ward has a high-level, highly qualified team of medical experts and key personnel. It currently has 6 chief physicians, 3 deputy chief physicians, 2 attending physicians, and 1 resident physician, covering neurology, cardiovascular medicine, respiratory medicine, endocrinology, gastroenterology, and other specialties. It also has an expert panel composed of professors from all specialties throughout the hospital, ensuring that patients receive high-quality, standardized, specialized, and appropriate examinations, diagnoses, and treatments. The nurses have excellent technical skills and provide attentive service. They carefully listen to patients’ opinions regarding examinations, diagnoses, treatment, nursing, and daily-life services. On the basis of adhering to “standardization” and “professionalism,” they provide “individualized” and “refined” services, further extending medical services to regular follow-up visits after discharge, as well as comprehensive guidance on matters concerning medications, diet, exercise, and other precautions. This fully embodies humanistic care, and the ward is a demonstration unit of the Shenzhen Municipal Health, Population and Family Planning Commission’s “Demonstration Post for Building Harmonious Doctor-Patient Relationships.” The ward has comprehensive medical facilities. In addition to premium hospital beds and the routine medical instruments found in ordinary wards, it is also equipped with an advanced central monitoring system, dynamic electrocardiography, and a dynamic blood-pressure monitor, facilitating the observation, examination, and management of patients’ conditions. The ward has a beautiful environment and an elegant style. It offers rooms of various types, including single rooms, double rooms, and suites. Daily-life facilities are complete, including telephones, televisions, refrigerators, microwave ovens, sofas, caregiver beds, and work desks, and assistance can be provided with relevant business matters and personal-life affairs. The department emphasizes the comprehensive development of medical care, education, and research. Over the past 3 years, it has published a total of 14 professional papers in national- and provincial-level journals, led 3 municipal-level scientific research projects, enrolled 3 master’s students, and trained 57 physicians in standardized general-practice training. A total of 5 physicians and 4 nurses have been sent to the United States, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Beijing, Guangzhou, and other places for further study.
