Staff Welfare Office

If you are experiencing psychosocial problems, you can make an appointment with the Staff Welfare Office. Psychosocial problems relate to feelings and thoughts (psychological problems) and/or problems with other people or organisations (social problems).

You can make an appointment yourself, or alternatively you can be referred by the occupational health physician, HR or your manager.

Occupational health physician

Are you experiencing health problems that (could) affect your work? Are you looking for advice on how to avoid becoming unable to work due to an occupational disability? Or are you concerned about other aspects of your work and health? You can approach the occupational health physician (in Dutch) to make an appointment during the prevention clinic.

A prevention clinic appointment is confidential; the occupational health physician is not allowed to report to your manager.

Family doctor

The occupational health physician is a medical professional who specialises in health at work. Your own family doctor is your first point of contact for questions about your general health. You can always go to your family doctor if you are experiencing physical or mental issues, even if you don’t know whether your symptoms may be related to your work. If necessary, the doctor can refer you to other care providers, and they can also contact the occupational health physician if they think your symptoms may be related to your work. 

Your family doctor also acts as the coordinator for all the care you need. Other care providers will keep your doctor up to date on the care you are offered and share advice on possible next steps.
