Client Council

The management of the GP Medical Post highly values patient involvement and opportunities for them to share their thoughts in order to improve the quality of care. The Wet medezeggenschap cliënten zorginstellingen (WMCZ, Participation Clients of Care Institutions Act) is a perfect match for this and gives all institutions a legal basis to establish a client council. That is why we decided to set up a Client Council for the Maastricht and Heuvelland GP Medical Post in 2022.

Purpose

The purpose of the Client Council is to represent the common interests of clients. We take the views of all people living in the region into account with regard to how the GP Medical Post carries out its tasks. After all, any resident could become a patient at the GP Medical Post at any time. The Client Council has the legal authority to give solicited and unsolicited advice to the management on subjects that are of importance to clients. Examples of this include provision of information to patients, protection of privacy, and the complaints procedure. The GP Medical Post’s board and the Client Council hold regular meetings on this topic.

Tasks

The Client Council focuses on the general interest of patients who make use of the care provided under the responsibility of the Maastricht and Heuvelland GP Medical Post. The council has opportunities to think about and discuss a wide range of issues. If you have suggestions for improving the quality of care and communication with regard to this topic, we invite you to contact the client council.

Composition

The Client Council currently consists of five members. These members represent clients from the entire catchment area of the Maastricht and Heuvelland GP Medical Post and have no substantive or business links with the GP Medical Post.

Members

John Wintjens, chair
Koos Munnecom, secretary
Trudy Dolmans
