Please note: we can only make home visits to patients in postcode areas 1181 and 1182.

The general practitioners in our practice are not trained to conduct driving licence examinations. In addition, according to the KNMG, the professional organisation for doctors, it is not permitted for the treating doctor to conduct the driving licence examination, see the text below from the KNMG website.
You can visit the following locations for driving licence examinations: https://rijbewijskeuringsarts.nl/.
General practitioners and other treating physicians are not permitted to issue medical certificates for their own patients. This means that they cannot write certificates stating whether or not you are able to work, travel, exercise, drive or study.
The reason is that a treating doctor cannot objectively assess their own patient. Only an independent doctor (e.g. a company doctor, medical examiner or the CBR) may issue such a statement.
Your general practitioner may provide medical information to an independent doctor if you give your written consent.
Gielen and Rimmelzwaan General Practice is a training practice. This means that we employ a GP in training: a qualified doctor who is specialising in general practice.
The trainee GP conducts consultations independently, always under the supervision of an experienced GP from our practice.
Sometimes we ask for your permission to record the consultation with the GP trainee on video. Such recordings are very valuable for the training programme, as they are used for teaching and supervision purposes. The recordings are only viewed by the GP trainee, the supervising GP and the programme's teaching staff.
Your privacy is fully guaranteed: the recordings are stored securely and used exclusively for educational purposes.
You decide for yourself whether you wish to participate in a recording. If you do not give your consent, filming will of course not take place. Even if you change your mind during the conversation, you can withdraw your consent at any time. The recording will then be stopped immediately and deleted.
