General Practitioner (Huisarts) services
The GP (huisarts) is the main point of contact within health-services in the Netherlands.
The GP is a specialist in general medicine / primary care. He or she deals with a whole range of health problems: examination and treatment of acute and chronic diseases, performance of simple surgical operations, referrals to hospitals and other (mental) health and social services. The GP is also the gatekeeper to the hospital system.
Your GP is part of the team of Novawhere Medical Centre, which includes healthcare assistants, nurse practioners, mental health workers and other staff. We work closely with hospitals and other health care professionals: physical therapists, mental health and social care services. The GP has direct access to many diagnostic services, like imaging technology (X-ray, ultrasound), laboratory, cardiac and pulmonary tests.

GP consultation hours
Morning and afternoon.
When you need to see a doctor or other health professional, you have to make an appointment. The assistant will ask some details about your request for help, so they can plan your consultation properly.
Home visit
The GP will visit you at home if he or she thinks that your medical condition requires it.
Telephone consultations
If you phone the practice and wish to speak to your GP, the assistant will take a message and inform the doctor. He or she will call you back later. Sometimes, the assistant or doctor may ask you to make an appointment to come to the practice, if in their opinion a telephone consultation is inappropriate to deal with your problem.
Healthcare assistants and nurse practioners
Our assistants and nurse practioners have their own consultations: monitoring Diabetes, COPD, hypertension, and risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. Treatment of wounds, injections. PAP tests for cervical cancer screening, ECG, ambulant blood pressure monitoring and pulmonary function test.
Mental health workers
Mild mental health problems can be treated by the GP or by our general practice mental health workers. They can offer you online counselling (e-health) as well.
