Our departments each have their own specialization and consist of permanent teams of expert nurses and healthcare professionals. They are divided into four clusters: women & child, surgical services, internal services and critical services. The head nurse is the central point of contact in the department who manages the team and can answer any questions about the functioning of the department.

The oncology department specializes in the treatment and follow-up of people with cancer.

In our geriatric day hospital, elderly patients can come and receive an outpatient evaluation and therapy. Patients are admitted for one day. They have to register at the reception desk. In consultation with the general practitioner and the geriatrician, we make a multidisciplinary evaluation and examine the patient that day in a comfortable and appropriate environment. The services at the geriatric day hospital are fully adapted to the specific needs of the elderly. The GP always receives a report from the hospital.

At the internal surgery day hospital, you can undergo an examination or treatment that does not involve an overnight stay in our hospital (ambulatory or outpatient). You come to the hospital the day of your treatment and can return home the same day.

The falls clinic of Sint-Trudo Hospital focuses on patients with walking and/or balance disorders and recurrent falls. A multidisciplinary team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, geriatricians and nurses will help you with a screening and give you tailored advice to avoid falls to the maximum.

About 30% of people over the age of 65 fall once a year. Due to the aging of the population, the number of fall incidents is increasing. Direct injuries from a fall include bone fractures, soft tissue injuries and cerebral disorders. In addition, there are the psychological consequences of a fall, where the fear of another fall can undermine self-reliance. Both aspects can jeopardize independent functioning in the home situation.

You can visit our general and abdominal surgery service for minor general surgery, procedures on the gastrointestinal system, abdominal wall and other organs in the abdominal region. We work closely with other disciplines such as gastroenterology, endocrinology and oncology for this.
