Practice support for General Practitioner Care (physician nurse – POH) 

POH somatics
Under the supervision of general practitioners, they care for patients with chronic conditions (such as diabetes mellitus, lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases) and the elderly.

Pauline and Marrie hold consultation hours and visit patients at home if necessary, and guide patients with:

• Diabetes mellitus
• Lung diseases (such as COPD and asthma)
• CVRM (Cardio Vascular Risk Management)
• Elderly care
• Help to quit smoking

POH elderly
Marrie provides the necessary care to the increasingly aging population in Voorschoten. This group is living independently at home for longer and longer.

Information lung function test:
You will receive a lung function test from one of our physician assistants. You are not allowed to smoke 3 hours before the examination.
If you use inhaled medication that falls under anti-inflammatory drugs (corticosteroids), you must stop taking this medication 48 hours before the examination. These are, for example, Foster, Symbicort, etc.
If you only use a short-acting bronchodilator, such as Salbutamol, you must stop taking this medication 24 hours in advance.
Stopping the inhaled medication is important to get a good picture of your lung function.
If this is a problem, please contact the physician nurse with whom you have the research to discuss.
If you come for an annual check-up, you may be allowed to continue using the inhaled medication. If you have any doubts about this, please contact the physician nurse. Always take your inhaled medication with you to the lung function test.

POH GGZ

While the POH somatics supports patients with physical (chronic) disorders, the POH GGZ focuses on the treatment of people with (short-term) psychological complaints. The POH GGZ supports the general practitioner in providing accessible care to patients with psychological and/or psychosocial complaints.
The POH GGZ offers help to patients quickly, without a waiting list and in a familiar environment.
This help is close to home and usually short-term. Ruben holds consultation hours, under the supervision of the general practitioners.
