The new waiting post is also a big step forward for general practitioners. Flor is one of almost 200 general practitioners who participate in the on-call rotation. Until today, the GP circle of Izegem, Ingelmunster and Lendelede did not have an on-call post, meaning on-call GPs often worked 24 hours a day. “Now it’s only 12 hours at a time. There is also always a reception staff present and if we have to go on the road, a driver is with us,” Flor explains.
You can make an appointment with the on-call doctor via the toll-free number 1733. The home visits are mainly for people who no longer have mobility problems or residents of residential care centers.
