Practice-based nurse specialists – leaflet
Information
In consultation with the GP, you will have check-up appointments with the nurse specialist and assistants for diabetes mellitus (diabetes), CVRM (cardiovascular disease), atrial fibrillation and COPD. Martina Riemens is a nurse and she will support you.
The nurse specialist and assistants work closely with the GP, hold independent consultation hours, and provide information and guidance. They always consult with the GP in the event of any changes in medication or policy.
If you have diabetes, you are checked three to four times a year. You will visit the GP once. After each check-up, you will receive a new appointment and a form for a blood test.
A week before the appointment, you go to the blood collection laboratory or visit the assistant for an HbA1C measurement only. You will be informed of the result during the consultation.
CVRM, AF or COPD basically only require a test measurement in your month of birth.
Prior to the check-up by the nurse specialist, you can take a seat in the waiting room. The nurse specialist will meet you in the waiting room. You do not need to report to the assistant.
If you are unable to attend, we ask you to call the assistant to cancel the appointment at least 48 hours in advance. This appointment can then be reallocated.

Practice-based nurse specialist for mental healthcare – leaflet
Information
In consultation with the doctor, you have made an appointment with the nurse specialist for mental healthcare. Sietske Vervaat is the nurse specialist for mental healthcare at our practice, and she will support you.
Psychological and/or psychosocial problems are generally the reason for meetings with the nurse specialist for mental healthcare. Depending on your requirements and options, the nurse specialist for mental healthcare will make suggestions for a solution.
Support from the nurse specialist for mental healthcare is of a short-term nature. This means that five sessions take place on average. The sessions last 30 to 45 minutes.
It sometimes becomes clear from the meetings that it would be best to refer you to a psychologist (“basic mental healthcare”) or a psychiatrist (“specialised mental healthcare”). The nurse specialist will discuss this with you and the GP.
The sessions with the nurse specialist for mental healthcare come under basic insurance. There are no additional costs for you.
Before the meeting, you can take a seat in the waiting room. The nurse specialist will meet you in the waiting room. You do not need to report to the assistant.
If you are unable to attend, we ask you to call the assistant to cancel the appointment at least 48 hours in advance. This appointment can then be reallocated.
