Andreas Niebuhr MBA · Specialist in occupational medicine
As a specialist in occupational medicine, I combine clinical experience in orthopaedics and trauma surgery with an MBA in Health Management. At TN Preventus, I translate these perspectives into clear, practical next steps for organisations.
My standard
“I founded TN Preventus because, for me, good care is personal: listening, understanding the organisation and taking responsibility. As a northern German, I feel connected to the people and businesses of our region. If you entrust me with the care of your organisation, I will be at your side with wholehearted commitment and responsibility.”

Health-related pressures are assessed professionally without losing sight of the real workplace.
Professional advice needs to be understandable and capable of fitting into existing operational processes.
Clear roles, transparent boundaries and direct dialogue are central to the way I work.
Personal perspective
In medical practice, I see how closely health, working conditions and organisational decisions are connected. TN Preventus works at precisely that interface.
I want to connect occupational medicine and occupational safety in a way that keeps each discipline distinct while giving organisations one clear and understandable process.
My clinical experience in orthopaedics and trauma surgery sharpens my view of how physical pressures, injuries and capacity for work can relate to one another. As a specialist in occupational medicine, I apply that perspective to prevention and the specific workplace context.
My MBA in Health Management adds an organisational perspective: how decisions are made and how professional recommendations can become effective in day-to-day operations.
At the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, I contributed to neurological research. I co-authored a scientific publication on cortical thickness and cognitive performance in people with asymptomatic narrowing of one carotid artery.

I am listed in the official OEUK register of doctors. For offshore fitness assessments, we distinguish OEUK requirements from those of the German AWMF guideline. The framework needed depends on the intended assignment.
Good advice begins with a clear distinction: what is the medical question, what belongs to occupational safety and who is responsible for which decision within the organisation?
The result should not be abstract paperwork but traceable next steps. Clear professional boundaries, confidentiality and understandable communication are part of that standard.
I begin by listening, clarifying the real reason for contact and understanding existing structures before a course of action is agreed. Scope and next steps should fit the organisation rather than a standard template.
Through TN Preventus, I want to remain personally accessible and professionally clear, with named responsibilities, traceable progress and attention to whether agreed measures reach day-to-day practice.

My approach

Separate medical, safety and organisational questions clearly.
Make interfaces, responsibilities and a realistic next step understandable.
Return to progress and effectiveness where doing so is meaningful for the organisation.
FAQ
