| Annotation | In the Netherlands, there are four medical specialties - clinical geriatrics, nursing home medicine, social geriatrics, and geriatric psychiatry - that focus primarily on geriatric care. Nevertheless, the general practitioner (GP) continues to act as the gatekeeper for additional intensive medical care services in most geriatric situations. This paper describes how medical care for older people functions in the Netherlands. (AKM). |
