Emergencies

Emergency during opening hours           
For an urgent matter during opening hours of our GP practice you call the emergency line via the general practice number.          
When the GP practice is closed during opening hours you will automatically be connected to an observing GP practice.

Emergency outside opening hours           
For an urgent matter outside opening hours of our GP practice you call the GP post via number 088 003 0600
The GP post can be reached by telephone Monday until Friday from 17.00 until 08.00 hours and during weekends and on public holidays 24 hours a day.

At the GP post all GPs in the region work together. You will only be helped here for matters that can not wait until normal working hours and after a telephone appointment.           
You can be helped faster if you have the following information present:

  • your Citizen Service Number (BSN)
  • your health insurance card
  • the name of your GP
  • your medication use

Life threatening situations           
In a life threatening situation you call 112

When you call 112, please pass on:

  • what is going on
  • where help is needed
  • which emergency service seems to be needed: police, fire brigade and/or ambulance

Listen carefully to what the operator asks you and answer briefly and clearly.           
The operator will connect you to the appropriate emergency service(s) in your region.           
Do not disconnect the telephone connection until the operator indicates this.
