Standardized quality of medical care

GP (huisarts) in Holland is the center of the medical system. We have a broad medical training; we manage 80 % of the medical consultations our self, small percentage of the patients need a referral to specialist. Our scientific society, the Dutch General Practitioners (Nederlandse Huisartsengenootschap) is writing its own evidence based guidelines, what makes us unique in the world.
We are trained to provide highly skilled and professional medical care upon the latest standards.
My registration in the Dutch Medical register (bigregister.nl) is: 09912753401 https://zoeken.bigregister.nl/bignummer/09912753401

I work together with other medical doctors, they all offer standardized quality of medical care.
