Organisation and governing bodies
Management Committee The Board of Directors of the University Hospital of Brussels (H.U.B.), a grouping of the Jules Bordet Institute, the Erasmus Hospital and the Queen Fabiola's Children's Hospital, is the supreme executive authority. The General Management, General Medical Management and all the Directors meet within this Board of Directors twice monthly. By giving priority to consultation and the participation of the various departments in making day-to-day decisions, the Board of Directors favours collective decision-making. The multidimensional nature of most of the subjects discussed is also taken into account. All the departments are subsequently able to ensure that all information on life at the hospital is communicated in full. COMPOSITIONGeneral ManagementM. R. WITMEURGeneral Medical ManagementPr J-M.

Quality
Trauma Center Since September 2022 the Erasmus Hospital has been an accredited “Trauma Center”.  A certification that recognises quality care for patients who have suffered a serious level 1 trauma. Every day at the Trauma Center a multidisciplinary medical and paramedical team acts to ensure that patient care is transverse and optimal. A chain of survival that begins with the 112 call and continues to patient stabilisation and through to rehabilitation. Whether the patients are victims of a road, occupational or domestic accident, a severe trauma is the principal cause of death for persons aged under 40. To guarantee effective care, the Erasmus Hospital has both the infrastructure and material and medical resources to permit a complete care pathway.     Quality charter The Erasmus Hospital is driven by a dynamic of continuous improvement rooted in a quality culture that is evident across all its activities and that involves all members of staff. Its missions of patient care, teaching and research are pursued in a context of continuous assessment and optimal rigour, transparency and security.    The hospital undertakes to:  Place the patient at the centre of its concerns so as to provide the desired care and services by integrating them in pre- and post-hospitalisation care.    Help develop new approaches to care and provide the most advanced care in its fields of excellence    Support the care activities with standardised, written practices    Encourage respect for the values and goals of the institution    Encourage the well-being of all members of staff by providing a working environment propitious to personal development   Provide a teaching tool of excellence for the community and university faculties and training colleges that provide vocational training in the field of health and care    Provide training in a humanist environment in which the youngest benefit from the skills and experience of more senor staff  Make available to university faculties and training colleges an effective tool for conducting or participating in all dimensions of research focused on medical and care activities.    The "Baby-Friendly Hospital" Label In 2008, the Maternity Department was proud to be awarded the "Baby-Friendly Hospital" label, renewed in November 2016. An international programme launched by the WHO and UNICEF, this label aims to ensure that every newborn and mother have an optimal health and well-being capital. It therefore encourages maternity wards and departments to encourage an early bond between mother and baby and to promote breast-feeding. In addition to providing an optimal diet for the baby, protecting against infections and allergies and preventing obesity, breast-feeding is also beneficial for the mother. For the latter, a reduced risk of breast cancer and osteoporosis and easier weight loss after childbirth are the two principal benefits.   To meet the conditions for label renewal, the hospital undertakes to:    Make every effort to encourage a solid bond between mother and baby during pregnancy, during delivery and after birth.     Inform and assist in making a well-informed decision on the method of feeding that is best suited to the mother and baby. Once the decision is taken, the Maternity Department undertakes to respect it and support the mother in her choice   Ensure that our staff benefit from specific training to provide quality support for mothers who decide to breastfeed their children.    Encourage initial skin-to-skin contact for at least one hour a day, from the time of birth. To reassure the baby, we encourage the mother to offer the baby her breast.    Avoid separating mother and baby during their stay in maternity. If the baby has to spend time in the Neonatal Department,  nurses help the mother to express breast milk, whenever possible in close proximity to the baby.

A single medical council as the logical next step in shared progress.
The Brussels University Hospital (H.U.B), consisting of the Erasmus Hospital, the Jules Bordet Institute and the Queen Fabiola University Children's Hospital, employs more than 800 doctors. To improve collaborations, inter-departmental communication and care pathways, at the end of December these doctors voted to set up a single Medical Council. An initiative seen as a logical next step and that respects the identities of each hospital. This form of transverse representation of the medical staff makes it possible to support both respective and common projects in the interests of medicine, both today and into the future.  All the doctors represented within the same body The attachment of each hospital to the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) already enabled the three medical councils to cooperate regularly in the past. The creation of the Brussels University Hospital (H.U.B) as an academic hospital for the City of Brussels in October 2021 served to consolidate this cooperation. Common governance was therefore soon seen as the logical next step. Thus, on 20 December 2020, doctors from the Brussels University Hospital (H.U.B) came together and opted, by more than 80% of votes, to deploy a single medical council. This form of representation of the medical staff within the hospital governance aims to facilitate and improve inter-departmental cooperation and promote an efficient sharing of activities. The future doctors' representatives on this single Medical Council will be appointed when new elections are held at the start of the next academic year. Voting will be by electronic means.    Unifying while respecting the identity of each hospital The role of the Medical Council is to coordinate medical activities, promote quality care and harmonise patient pathways that are accessible to all within the hospital networks while maintaining the spirit of cooperation between the doctors. Although the Brussels University Hospital is deployed through its governance and its transversality, the desire to preserve the identity of each institution, for both staff and patients, remains a priority. Each of these constituent institutions is recognised nationally and internationally for its medical projects and innovations, whether oncological, paediatric or specialised.  The communication challenge Regular meetings of all the H.U. B doctors are needed to ensure that the deployment of a common medical project is a shared experience. The existence of two distinct hospital sites (Anderlecht and Laeken) remains the biggest challenge in terms of communication for the teams, especially when members of the medical staff must be present physically. Using the right means of communication at the right time remains a key issue in ensuring the smooth functioning of the institution.  A union in keeping with the triple mission: care, research and teaching As a university structure with many researchers and research physicians, the Brussels University Hospital offers a stimulating environment that permits the continuous recruitment of young specialists. A youth that has a vital place within the institution and to which established staff are always attentive. The medical staff also interact very closely both with the paramedical teams and support services (data processing, human resources, etc.) as well as with GPs, with the aim of always guaranteeing the best care for the patients.

A rapid diagnosis pathway for colorectal cancer at the H.U.B
Teams from the Gastroenterology and Digestive Oncology Departments of the Erasmus Hospital and Jules Bordet Institute are now working hand-in-hand within the Brussels University Hospital (H.U.B).  They propose a rapid diagnosis pathway reserved for patients showing warning signs, a positive result in a search for blood in the stools or who are at high risk.  On 22 and 23 March a giant colon will be installed in the lobbies of the Erasmus Hospital and Jules Bordet Institute. Professionals from our institutions will be there on the day to help you discover this organ and highlight the importance of screening for colorectal cancer.     Essential screening   Every year more than 8,000 Belgians, both men and women, are diagnosed with colorectal cancer. In 90% of cases they are aged over 50. One third of these persons will die from their cancer due to a late diagnosis. If detected in time, 90% of these persons are cured.  Faced with this problem, our professionals decided to put into place a rapid diagnosis pathway for patients presenting a warning sign or a high risk.  Colonoscopy screening is essential as it reduces the risk of developing colorectal cancer and reduces the mortality by 50%. This examination has therapeutic as well as diagnostic benefits as it not only allows a cancer to be detected at an early stage but also prevents its occurrence by removing colorectal polyps and early cancers.    Who is the screening targeting?   You can make an appointment with our professionals who will rapidly schedule a colonoscopy if you present warning signs such as an unexplained and lasting change in bowel movements, the presence of blood in the stools, abdominal pain or unexplained weight loss. If you have a personal or family history of polyps and/or colorectal cancer, inflammatory diseases of the digestive tube (Crohn's disease or proctocolitis) or a family history of multiple polyposis or hereditary colon cancer you will be prioritised.    With or without warning signs, from the age of 50 you can also undergo a simple test for the presence of blood in the stools, carried out in your own home following an invitation sent by the Region.    Do you show any of these symptoms? Then make an appointment with our specialists who will schedule your tests as quickly as possible on the basis of your symptoms.    Gastroenterology consultation: • Jules Bordet Institute 02 541 34 80 • Erasmus 02 555 35 04  Screening consultation at the Jules Bordet Institute (if no symptoms): 02 541 30 00   A giant colon to boost awareness   March is awareness month for colorectal cancers. On this occasion the Brussels University Hospital invites you to come and discover a giant colon. Accompanied by health professionals you can actually go inside the structure to discover this organ, in 3D, and better understand why and how to protect yourself against colorectal cancer, one of the most deadly cancers in Belgium.  The dates are 22 March at the Erasmus Hospital between 9 am and 4 pm and 23 March at the Jules Bordet Institute between 9 am and 4 pm.
