Abstract
Due to an increasing lack of qualified personnel, the German healthcare system and especially surgical departments face tremendous challenges. This shortage of qualified personnel not only results in constraints in the provision of patient care but also has a negative impact on the health of available personnel, as these are by default expected to fill the gap. The situation is aggravated by demands and expectations of the younger generation of employees, who are particularly concerned with key topics, such as leadership, working hours and work-life balance. This transformation will inevitably necessitate both chief surgeons and hospital management to re-evaluate and adapt their strategies in order to retain full operability and high quality of medical care of clinics in the future. The objective of this article is to provide a personal assessment of the current and future situation in surgical clinics in Germany with a focus on human resources and leadership.Entities:
