When do you call?

Do you urgently need a GP in the evening, at night on weekends or during holidays?

Is your question not to be postponed until the next practice day of your GP?

Then call the central number 088-00 30 600 of GP Emergency Stations Amsterdam.

We offer emergency care to patients who are registered with a general practitioner in the Amsterdam, Badhoevedorp, Lijnen, Diemen, Duivendrecht and Landsmeer region. Non-registered patients who urgently need a GP and are in the Amsterdam region can also contact GP Spoedposten Amsterdam.
If you are abroad, please contact the 24/7 control room of SOS international on +31 02 651 5151.

‘Urgent’ are health complaints that cannot wait until the next working day from your own GP. For example, increasing shortness of breath, paralysis symptoms, severe pain, a seriously ill child or an accident in the house. Or if you are so worried that you want to ask for medical advice!

You call and then?
You will have a well-trained and experienced triage nurse on the line. Preferably, the patient should call himself. If you are calling for someone else, make sure you have all patient data at hand.

Depending on your situation:
• You will receive medical advice by telephone
• You will receive an appointment for a visit to the GP post in your area
• The GP comes to your home (if transport to the post is medically irresponsible)

Are you dealing with a life-threatening situation? Press ‘1’ on your phone. You will then be helped with priority.

What does the General Practitioner need to know about me?
The triage nurse asks for the following patient data, among other things:
• Your date of birth, name, zip code and house number
• Your phone number
• The name of your GP
• Your health insurance number
• Description of your complaint(s)
• Your medical history (major condition/illnesses/allergies)
• Your medication use
• Proof of identity (To the GP post? Please bring your ID)
