The Dutch College of General Practitioners (NHG) has introduced a flu check on the website nhg.org.
The website is intended to relieve general practitioners in the Netherlands, a spokeswoman for the Dutch College of General Practitioners said today. "The check is intended for people who think may be infected with swine flu † In this way, they can do a first check at home to see if they may have this flu.” Depending on the answers, users can be asked a total of eight questions.
The spokeswoman cannot say how busy GPs are with patients who think they have the flu. ‘The Website is a practical aid, since people with flu symptoms are not allowed to come to the consultation hour.' If you have answered the questions, you will then receive concrete advice , according to the NHG.
