Practice question Gezondheidszorg (Healthcare)
What is the GP out-of-hours service (HAP)?
In Dutch: Wat is de Huisartsenpost (HAP)?
Choices
- A GP practice in the hospital
- An emergency post for GP care outside office hoursCorrect answer
- A pharmacy for emergencies
- An outpatient clinic for specialists
Explanation
Correct answer: An emergency post for GP care outside office hours
The Huisartsenpost (HAP) is there for urgent care outside office hours: in the evening, at night and at the weekend. You can go there for medical problems that cannot wait until the next day. Contact the HAP first, by phone, and do not just walk in. Some posts also let you chat or fill in a form first. If your life is in danger, call 112.
Why the other choices are wrong
- Option A: The HAP is for urgent care in the evening, at night and at the weekend. It is not a normal daytime practice.
- Option C: Pharmacies dispense medications, but the HAP provides urgent medical care by doctors.
- Option D: Medical specialists work in outpatient clinics. The HAP is staffed by general practitioners for urgent care.
