Shortage of paediatricians in Switzerland: strategies for paediatricians facing growing patient demand # Shortage of paediatricians in Switzerland: strategies for paediatricians facing growing patient demand Last updated on 17/03/2026 [Pediatricians](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/pediatricians/)  The shortage of [pediatricians in Switzerland](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/specialty/pediatrician/) is worsening dramatically: __one in four pediatricians will retire by 2029, while several hundred pediatricians are already missing today.__ For practicing pediatricians, this means in concrete terms: overcrowded waiting rooms, less time available per patient, and increasing pressure to maintain quality of care. ## How does the shortage of pediatricians affect patient care? The impact of the pediatrician shortage on daily patient care is multifaceted. Parents report __waiting times of several weeks__ for routine appointments. A recent study shows unequal access to basic pediatric care in Switzerland, with some regions being significantly disadvantaged. __Reduced consultation time__: The increased influx of patients leads to __less time available per patient__. What used to be a 15-minute consultation often now has to be managed in 10 minutes. This affects the quality of medical history taking, physical examinations, and the time available for clear explanations. __Emergency treatments vs. routine check-ups__: Practices increasingly have to set priorities. Routine examinations such as health check-ups or vaccination appointments are postponed, while acute cases are treated as a priority. This creates gaps in prevention and an __overload of emergency services__, which become the first point of contact. __Psychological burden on staff:__ The constant time pressure leads to chronic stress, feelings of guilt, and an increased risk of burnout. Time pressure also increases the risk of diagnostic errors. ## Optimizing practice organization: efficient processes with a high number of patients Despite the systemic shortage, pediatricians can improve their work efficiency through optimized practice organization. ### Smart appointment management __Online booking systems with pre-appointment questionnaire__: [Modern online appointment booking systems](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/online-booking/) allow parents to schedule appointments independently and provide important information in advance (symptoms, duration, medical history). This saves valuable minutes during the consultation. __Structured time slots__: Reserve __2–3 slots daily for acute cases__ (for example 8:00–9:00 a.m.), schedule routine appointments during quieter periods, and double appointments for complex chronic conditions. Fixed telephone consultation hours for questions ease the daily workload of the practice. Consciously plan __buffer time__ for unexpected emergencies. ### Delegation and teamwork __Delegate tasks to medical assistants__: Make optimal use of your team’s skills – trained medical assistants can conduct preliminary medical history interviews, administer vaccinations after medical validation, handle simple wound care, and provide standardized advice on topics such as fever or nutrition. ### Digital solutions __[Electronic patient records](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/all-specialties/offer-electronic-patient-record-epr-healthcare-professional/) (EPR)__: Access to complete medical histories saves valuable time – all previous results, vaccinations, and allergies are visible at a glance, and duplicate examinations are avoided. __Telemedicine for follow-ups__: [Video consultations](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/visio/teleconsultation-module/) allow the assessment of skin conditions, wound healing, or general health status, save travel time for families, and increase your capacity. Automated reminder systems reduce missed appointments.  #### Discover the digital solutions of OneDoc Pro | | | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |  [Online appointments](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/online-booking/) |  [Teleconsultation](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/visio/teleconsultation-module/) | |  [Step-by-step appointments](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/step-by-step-appointment/) |  [SMS reminders](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/sms-reminders/) | [Book a demo](https://info.onedoc.ch) ## How to solve the pediatrician shortage in Switzerland? The shortage of pediatricians requires structural solutions at different levels. The FOPH report of March 2025 identifies concrete areas for action. __Improve undergraduate and postgraduate training__: More practical exposure during medical studies through early rotations, financial support via scholarships and paid continuing education positions, as well as predictable career paths are essential. __Increase the attractiveness of the profession__: A revision of TARMED for adequate remuneration, flexible working models (part-time, job sharing), and a reduction of administrative burden through digitalization are necessary. __New models of care__: Group practices offer workload distribution, exchange between colleagues, and greater attractiveness for young professionals. Interdisciplinary health centers pool expertise and enable extended opening hours. Cooperation between urban and rural areas through financial incentives, rotation models, and telemedicine improves care in underserved regions. ## Quality before quantity: maintaining treatment standards despite time pressure Despite the immense pressure, quality of care remains the absolute priority. __Strategic prioritization__ distinguishes between acute and chronic cases, recognizes red flags, and telephone triage helps assess urgency. __Focus on evidence-based medicine__: Standardized examination protocols for common clinical presentations, guideline-compliant treatment, and avoiding overdiagnosis ensure quality. A __targeted medical history__ according to the SAMPLE scheme efficiently gathers the essentials. __Efficient documentation__: Templates and text blocks for routine findings, voice recognition during the examination, and a focus on medically relevant results save time. ## Communication with parents: building trust despite limited time Effective communication is central in pediatrics. __Active listening__ through eye contact, nodding, and confirmation as well as paraphrasing (“If I understand you correctly…”) shows empathy even in short consultations. __The three key questions__ structure every consultation: “What is the main problem?”, “What are you most afraid of?” and “What do you expect from me today?”. End with a clear summary: diagnosis in simple terms, a concrete treatment plan, and warning signs. __Transparency about waiting times__: Honest communication about workload and referral to alternative contact points (pharmacies, hotlines, general practitioners) create understanding. Information sheets on common illnesses and their management reduce unnecessary consultations. __Building trust__: Sit down, touch the child, and speak directly to them. Clear and understandable explanations in simple language, written treatment plans, and clear information about availability in case of complications create reassurance. ## Overload of pediatricians in Switzerland: self-care and burnout prevention __Overload and burnout are real risks__. Be attentive to the signs: chronic exhaustion, emotional fatigue, reduced performance, cynicism, and social withdrawal. ### Setting boundaries in daily practice __Plan realistic capacities__: Accept that you __cannot take on all new patients__. Establish transparent waiting lists, limit emergency capacities, and learn to say no. __Respect breaks__: At least 30 minutes of lunch break, micro-breaks between consultations, clear end-of-work hours, and protected weekends are not a luxury, but a necessity for sustainable patient care. ### Resources for overloaded pediatricians __Peer support groups__: Quality circles, peer consultation, and informal networks offer valuable exchange. Do not hesitate to seek professional support through supervision, coaching, or psychotherapy. __Offers from professional associations__: mfe and pädiatrie schweiz offer counseling services, continuing education on self-care, and political advocacy. Firmly schedule __at least 4 weeks of annual vacation__. ### Part-time models and group practices __Job sharing and group practices__ distribute the workload: shared on-call duties, holiday coverage, emotional support, and professional second opinions. Rotation systems significantly reduce on-call burden. __Your health is the foundation of sustainable patient care.__ Self-care is a professional responsibility. ## Managing shortages of pediatric medications __Supply shortages of pediatric medications__ further aggravate the situation. Swissmedic introduced a new emergency regulation in April 2025 that facilitates the import of non-authorized medicines in shortage situations. __Practical management__: Monitoring stock levels and ordering early, proactive communication with pharmacies about alternative supply sources, as well as knowledge of therapeutic alternatives (other active substances, alternative dosage forms) are central. __Communication with parents__: Inform early about shortages, provide reassurance regarding equivalent alternatives, and give practical advice. In critical situations, use Swissmedic’s emergency regulation or contact hospital pharmacies. ## Networks and cooperation: together against the pediatrician shortage The pediatrician shortage cannot be managed by individual practices alone. __Collective solutions and strong networks__ are decisive. __Collaboration with other practices__: Practice networks coordinate activities, share infrastructure, and exchange knowledge. Replacement networks with 5–10 pediatricians enable mutual coverage during vacations and planning security. __Shared on-call services__: Rotating systems mean only one week out of 4 or 5 on call. Central emergency practices for evenings and weekends are operated jointly. __Interdisciplinary cooperation__: Direct contacts with child and adolescent psychiatry, specialized pediatric nurses, social services, and therapists improve care. __Role of professional associations__: Actively use MFE Family and Childhood Doctors Switzerland and pediatrics switzerland for counseling, continuing education, and political engagement. Support petitions and engage in public debate. ## Future perspectives: new care models for Switzerland Despite current challenges, there are __innovative approaches__ that show ways out of the care crisis. __Health centers as a model for the future__: Interdisciplinary centers such as Flor Health Center offer one-stop services for families, salaried employment with regular working hours for physicians, extended opening hours, and efficiency gains through shared infrastructure. __[Telemedicine in pediatrics](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/all-specialties/case-study-teleconsultation-pediatry-perspective/):__ Video consultations for follow-ups, photographic documentation of skin changes, digital triage, and e-prescriptions expand capacity – while taking limitations into account, as physical examinations often remain indispensable. __Expanded competency profile for nurses__: Advanced practice nurses with extended competencies can independently manage routine cases, chronic diseases, and vaccinations, relieving physicians for complex cases. __Integration of general practitioners__: General practitioners handle simpler cases, while pediatricians specialize in developmental disorders, chronic diseases, and complex diagnostics. __Your role in the future__: As a practicing pediatrician, you can help shape the future through openness to new models, digital skills, political engagement, and promoting the next generation. ## Committing to the future of pediatrics in Switzerland The shortage of pediatricians in Switzerland is a complex challenge that requires both structural solutions and individual adaptations. Through optimized practice organization, effective communication, self-care, and collective networks, you as a pediatrician can provide high-quality care despite unfavorable framework conditions. At the same time, your commitment to better working conditions and new care models is central to improving the situation in the long term. Your work is more valuable than ever in these challenging times, for the children and families who rely on you. ###  [Take the pressure off your paediatric practice with solutions from OneDoc Pro](#) ## Sources - Tages-Anzeiger.
