For tourists
For any question about illness and health, please consult Thuisarts.nl first. For example, because you are bothered by something, because you are worried about something or because you want to know what you can do yourself. If you are unsure about visiting the GP and/or General Practitioner, please use the digital form ‘Do I need to see a doctor?’ (MINDD). This will assess whether and when it is necessary to contact the general practitioner and/or the General Practitioner.
Are you staying as a tourist on Texel, in Den Helder, Hollands Kroon or Schagen and do you need care in the evening, at night or at the weekend that cannot wait until the next working day? Then you can go to one of our GP emergency stations.
