Medical disciplinary law

In instances where a healthcare provider, or individual healthcare professional, has a complaint made against them, they can be called up before a Regional Disciplinary Tribunal. The Individual Healthcare Professions Act (“Wet beroepen in de individuele gezondheidszorg” or “Wet BIG”) stipulates which medical disciplinary law applies to which care providers, the type of the procedures involved, and the potential implications if found to be in breach.

When faced with such a situation, it is essential to seek expert legal assistance in a timely manner and avoid self-representation at all costs. At Van Benthem & Keulen we have attorneys with over 30 years experience in this field, who are therefore are adept at anticipating and countering the unexpected twists and turns that these matters sometimes take. You can rely upon their skills and expertise in mounting a strong defence, because they are more than aware of the potentially far-reaching consequences of an unsatisfactory result.
