About us
GP post ‘t Hellegat
GP post ‘t Hellegat is a partnership between GPs in the Goeree-Overflakkee and Hoeksche Waard region. The GPs together form a cooperative association and take care of the organisation of GP care outside regular office hours – i.e. in the evening, night, weekend and on public holidays.
With a large working area and intensive cooperation with chain partners and other healthcare organisations, we ensure accessible emergency care for everyone in the region.
Assistants
You will be assisted by an experienced doctor’s assistant. She will try to assess whether your problem really cannot wait until the next day or until after the weekend. She may also give advice by telephone. If you have to come to the consultation hour, she will make an appointment for this. Please note that it can sometimes be very busy and that you will have to wait longer than you are used to with your own GP. So don’t come unannounced, but call first; This will prevent problems!
Procedure
Since there are better examination and treatment options at the GP Medical Post, the doctor’s assistant will, if possible, make an appointment for the consultation hour. If necessary, the GP will come to your home together with the driver; this is only intended for those patients who are unable to come to the GP post for medical reasons; Not having your own transport can therefore not be a reason. In cases where transport is not responsible, such as heart attacks and serious lung diseases, the GP can come to your home.
You cannot go to the GP Medical Post with complaints that are annoying but not urgent. We do not write repeat prescriptions for unnecessary medicines. If you do not have time to visit your own GP on normal working days, this should not be a reason to consult the GP Medical Post.
Management and supervision
The day-to-day management of the cooperative and the associated care organisation is in the hands of a three-member board.
This board works under the supervision of a Supervisory Board, which ensures that everything runs according to the agreements and in the interest of the organization. In addition, the board is supported in the execution of its daily activities by a director.
Together, they ensure good governance, transparency and the continuity of high-quality emergency GP care outside office hours.
