** IMPORTANT INFORMATION **
We would like to inform you about the new working method at the Vita GP practice.
Due to increasing pressure, we see that it is becoming increasingly difficult to schedule appointments. Sometimes this is only possible after more than a week. This is of course annoying if you have complaints or are struggling with something. Unfortunately, it happens too often that people do not show up for their appointment. Sometimes it is forgotten or the complaint has already gone away.
We want to organize and use our available time as efficiently as possible, but also be able to help you immediately if necessary.
In order to maintain a workable situation, we are going to organize our planning differently.
How does it work?
On the day you want an appointment, call before 10 am.
For other questions, we request that you call after 10 am.
You will be connected to the assistant or the GP. We will then look at how and by whom you can best be helped. This can often be done by telephone, by means of an e-consultation and sometimes we would like to see you live to be able to properly assess the situation. In that case, an appointment will follow the same day.
The assistant is trained to answer many health questions for you and to give you appropriate advice, possibly after consultation with the GP.
We would also like to point out that it may be useful to first look at www.thuisarts.nl or the app 'should I go to the doctor?'
What is different?
So you cannot schedule an appointment in advance. This does not apply to appointments with the doctor's assistant
At General Practice Vita you can make an appointment by contacting the practice by telephone.
- Make an appointment by telephone
To make an appointment by telephone you can call the practice Monday until Friday from 08.00 until 10.00 hours via number: 035 624 8831 (option 4)
However in the morning your own, well known GP practice assistant answers the telephone. In the afternoon the telephone is answered alternately by the GP practice assistant of General Practice Vita, General Practice Panacea or General Practice Boersma. Therefore call to make an appointment, in the morning between 8am and 10 am. -
On Thuisarts.nl you can find reliable information about the healthcare system in the Netherlands. Thuisarts.nl is an independent website (in Dutch) with health information. Thuisarts.nl is developed and maintained by the Dutch College of General Practitioners.
The information is written in a comprehensible and understandable way, adapted for use by the general public.
This information has been integrated from the former website GPinfo.nl, which was also part of Thuisarts.nl.

There is no walk-in consultation hour anymore and also to have a blood sample taken (every working day from 08.00 until 12.00 hours) you have to make an appointment.
If you are registered at our practice and have an account you can use our e-consultation. For this click on the icon E-consultation at the homepage. You can start an e-consultation at any time.
For the other consultation hours and consultations you need to make an appointment.
More time needed?
For a GP consultation we reserve 10 minutes and is basically meant for the treatment of one question. If you think you need more time, for example because you have one big problem or several questions or because a longer conversation is appropriate, mention this when you make an appointment by telephone. Then we can reserve more time.
If you use our web agenda you can make (maximum) two appointments in succession.
