Scheduling a medical check-up.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The GP (huisarts) is the central figure. You must call them first for almost everything. Similar to the Netherlands, but sometimes more direct in communication. Very similar appointment-based culture; punctuality is highly valued. Also highly structured; digital booking is very common.
Be specific
When calling, mention your name and birthdate immediately.
Don't be late
Dutch doctors value time; being late might mean losing your slot.
