Medical assistants

Our medical assistants are your first point of contact when calling our practise. They will ask you (sometimes direct) questions regarding your symptoms and medical history. They are trained to asses the urgency of your problem and will make either an appointment or arrange for the GP to visit you at home.

They have their own consultation hours for medical issues and consult in vaccination and STD's. You can call them for results of urine or blood tests or repeat prescriptions.

General practice-based nurses (POH)

General practice-based nurse specialists have their own consulting hours in our practice but they all work supervised by the general practitioners.

POH-Somatic: Somatic Illness: Taking care of patients with diabetes, COPD and asthma. Counselling in quit smoking projects. Management and prevention of cardiovascular disease.

POH-elderly care: Care of the elderly. Very often elderly people living alone are fragile. They are prone to malnourishment or falling. The current trend to stay in your own home as long as possible can also pose difficulties. We try to prevent, to inform and help these patients and their care-givers.

POH-GGZ: general practice-based psychologist: Counselling in case of mental problems. Referral to specialised counselling.
