What do our doctor’s assistants do?

More than answering the phone

Our doctor’s assistants do more than schedule your appointment. They are also GP support assistants (SOH, Spreekuurondersteuner Huisartsenzorg): they run their own consultations under the supervision of the GP and carry out many medical procedures.

  • Blood pressure measurements, including over 24 hours
  • Wound care and removal of stitches
  • Ear syringing and injections
  • Urine and blood tests (CRP, glucose, Hb)
  • Heart tracing (ECG) and 24-hour Holter monitoring
  • Cervical smear tests for the national screening programme
