Practice counsellor somatic

In people with chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, renal dysfunction, asthma and COPD and cardiovascular disease, periodic monitoring is necessary. The somatic practice support person (POH-S) does the supervision of these chronic conditions within a regular consultation hour.

The POH-S has undergone training that enables her to independently draw up a treatment plan for the above-mentioned patients. As there are continuous developments in her field, she attends many refresher courses every year. Where necessary, the POH-S consults with the GP.
