Cancelling appointments/no-show

October 17, 2019 by editor

Unfortunately it happens frequently that our patient don’t show up for their appointments. Because of this we can’t see other patients who need a consultation. We want to reduce this, we will charge the consultation from the second appointment on which patients do not appear.

Appointments with your General Practicioner you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance.

Appointments with our GGZ-nurse you have to cancel 48 hours in advance, because of a long waiting list.

Meningococcal disease

September 11, 2018 by editor

At 14 months, your toddler will be given a vaccination that protects him or her against meningococcal disease.

This disease leads to meningitis, blood poisoning or pneumonia. Meningococcal disease is caused by different types of meningococcal bacteria.

Through the National Immunisation Programme, children have been vaccinated against meningococcal type C since 2002. Because the number of Meningococcal type W cases is increasing in the last three years, a broader protecting vaccine is now being introduced.From 1 May 2018, toddlers aged 14 months will receive a vaccination that protects against meningococci types A, C, W and Y. This vaccine is already recommended for travelers for many years, and is also used in immunisation programs in various countries. Experience and research show that the vaccine is safe and offers good protection.

for more information you can contact the RIVM https://rijksvaccinatieprogramma.nl/english

Triage

December 15, 2015 by editor

Whenever you call the practice, you will speak to one of our assistants. She will ask for the reason you want to make an appointment with the doctor. Therefore she will need to ask you some questions, regarding the complaints you have. This is called triage.
Triage is a way of safely managing increasing demands, while also meeting patients understandable desires for a timely response to their request for healthcare. The purpose is to ensure that the patient is referred to the appropriate doctor for the appropriate level of care and within an appropriate period of time.
