At the doctor's surgery, it is not only about physical complaints; psychological complaints can also be discussed. If necessary, the GP can refer you to the practical support person (POH-GGZ) with whom you can have a number of conversations. The aim is for you to regain control of your situation.
The practice manager has experience and knowledge of mental health complaints.
After consulting your GP, an appointment with the practice assistant will be made immediately. If you need to cancel an appointment or want to reschedule to another day, please do so through your GP's assistant.
You do not incur any costs for consultations with the POH-GGZ. Like your visit to the GP, these are settled directly with your health insurer and do not affect your excess.
Clarify a problem and see what the possible cause of it is. For example, what is going on? What factors might be perpetuating your symptoms?
Drawing up and discussing a follow-up action plan with you. Often, the POH GGZ can advise how you can get better yourself, or consult with you and the GP to engage other professional help.
Providing education. How did the complaints arise? What does theory and practice say about possible options for improvement.
The practice counsellor can help you, support you with advice, so that you are again able to chart the right course yourself. Should this not succeed due to the severity of the complaint, we will look together at what might be the reason, and what care would be better suited.
