Medical - Medical: Health Care / Nursing care course-related website translation
German term or phrase: Betreuungsdienst
Hi,

I could figure them out myself, they are probably not all that difficult to research. However, I am a bit pushed for time this week.

Here in this nursing care course-related website translation it says:
DECH: Das Praktikum absolvieren Sie in einer Institution des Gesundheitswesens, in einer ***Spitex*** oder in einem ***Betreuungsdienst***.

In the translation it says:
EN:
... or in the context of ***home care*** or a ***follow-up service***.

Thank you so much for your input on the matter.

Cheers,
Sebastian Witte

Notes to answerer
Asker: I will use your "outreach service" instead, or maybe I will put it like this: "Betreuungsdienst (a Swiss type of outreach service)".

AT/CH - Betreuungsdienst
BrE/OzE District Nurse > home-visiting service


Explanation:
No country except Switzerland mentioned and no target readership specified.

The Betreuungsdienst strikes me as being of a specific e.g. District Nurses' 'mobile' nature, whilst outreach describes a general scheme.

Note that, in Austrian schools, Nachmittagsbetreuung means afternoon supervision of children, either by school teachers or non-teachers.

Example sentence(s):
  • Die Mobilen Pflege- und Betreuungsdienste der Volkshilfe haben seit 1997 ein Qualitätsmanagementsystem
  • Nurses working in the Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) program provide intensive home-visitation services for first-time, low-income mothers.
