The AZ Jan Portaels attaches great importance to its relationship with GPs. They not only refer patients to the hospital, they also play a crucial role in our cooperation with primary care. 

Our first priority is to safeguard the optimum care pathway for our hospital clients. And this care pathway starts when patients contact their GP. Therefore, the hospital has created a well-functioning committee for general practitioners to optimize the contact between GPs, patients and the hospital. 

The committee's primary goal is to improve contacts with GPs by ensuring interactive communication with GPs, GPs in training, and other health care providers. We also want to provide training for and with GPs, such as Portaelia. 

Twice a year, they also receive our magazine "Het Portael". Did you miss an edition? Then read it online here.
