If necessary, the GP will refer you for further examination or treatment by a specialist or arrange for you to be hospitalised.


The GP’s openings hours are normally all weekdays from 08:00 to 16:00 with telephone hours from 08:00 to 09:00. Some GPs are also open till late one day a week. In case your GP is on vacation or is absent for some other reason, you will always be referred to another GP nearby.
