Working at Huisartsenpraktijk Randwijck

Practice support worker somatic care | Randwijck General Practice

As a practice supporter GP somatics (POH-S), you provide information and advice to chronically ill patients. You support them in breaking unhealthy habits in the field of exercise, nutrition and medicine use. Are you eager to motivate patients to live healthier and more active lives?

The best thing about the job, in my opinion, is getting someone who lacks self-confidence to leave with a smile and a wealth of knowledge and motivation. The diversity of people, the different approaches and the constantly changing medical world make this job incredibly enjoyable and varied.

As a POH-S, you will assist patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, COPD, asthma, and cardiovascular disease. You will conduct consultations independently and advise patients on lifestyle, exercise, medication use, and nutrition. Your duties will include:

Counselling and coaching patients on how to cope with their clinical picture, modify their lifestyle and promote their health.

Providing information and advice to patients on medical matters

Collaborates with professionals in care and welfare and refers patients to them if necessary

Maintaining care records (own consultation)

You work closely with the GPs in the practice. You will discuss the care plans you draw up with the GP, and in complex cases you will ask the GP for help.

Huisartsenpraktijk Randwijck is part of Medisch Centrum Randwijck, which also houses a pharmacy, physiotherapist, social worker and psychologist. The patient population of 10,000 is diverse and consists largely of expats and students from the Uilenstede district.

The team at Randwijck General Practice consists of eight general practitioners, three practice assistants specialising in somatic and elderly care, two mental health practice assistants, six doctor's assistants and a practice manager. Practice manager Susan Meijer describes the working atmosphere as a close-knit second family. “People listen to you and look at your personal qualities, which are then responded to. You can always turn to anyone. Everyone thinks along with you, is happy to go the extra mile, and nothing is too crazy,” says Susan.

Despite the high workload, the practice ensures that there is also room for relaxation. There is a lot of laughter and working days end with a ‘What went well?’ moment. Together with colleagues, you look back on the events of the day that you are proud of or that were special, so that you go home feeling satisfied.

You have completed the POH-S training programme. You also have an affinity with elderly patients and are motivated to follow the Elderly Care Practice Support Worker (POH-O) training programme in the future. In addition, you bring the following to the table:

Affinity with lifestyle coaching and knowledge of common chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and asthma/COPD.

With your enthusiasm, you know how to motivate people to change their behaviour.

You are approachable and make people feel comfortable with you.

You work independently, take responsibility and set the right priorities.

If your work requires collaboration, seek it out within the team.
