The OWee is the way to enter your student life!

The OWee is the Welcome Week for all students studying in Delft. In five days, you will learn everything you need for a successful student time!

A nice and cozy period at the start of your study time. Often with alcohol. Look for the effects of alcohol on your health and tips at www.thuisarts.nl

There is a lot of media attention for an article by British doctors, stating that finishing an antibiotic cure would not always be needed. However, the general advice to complete a cure still applies in the Netherlands.

In comparison with other countries, the Netherlands is economical with antibiotics and doctors will prescribe as short a cure as possible. There is no evidence that shorter cures are better.

Whether you can stop antibiotics earlier depends on your situation, which antibiotics you have and what infection. Therefore, always consult us if you are considering this.

What can I do in hot weather?

– Drink enough
Make sure you drink enough, even if you are not thirsty. Do you urinate less than you normally do? Or is your urine dark yellow? Then you can drink some extra. Drink little alcohol.
Take a bottle of water if you go for a couple of hours.

– Keep yourself cool
Wear thin clothes. Stay in the shadow. Take a (feet) bath or shower. Or occasionally take a cool wet towel in your neck. Sleep under a thin blanket.

– Protect yourself from sunshine with sunscreen, sunglasses, light clothing and a cap or hat. Sunscreen does not protect against heat.

– Limit physical exercise in the afternoon. Take advantage of the cooler morning and evening for your groceries, hikes or sports.

– Keep your house cool
Prevent warming of your home with blinds, a fan or, if you have, air conditioning. Provide ventilation by keeping the ventilation grates open or opening windows. Make it cooler in the morning or in the evening by opening windows and doors to fresh air.

Who is at risk of heat?

On very hot days the following people run more risk:

– people over 65 years old

– children under the age of 15, especially babies and toddlers

– People with a chronic condition such as diabetes mellitus, heart or lung disease.

– People with overweight

– People who use certain medicines, drink a lot of alcohol or use drugs

– Mentally challenged people

– People with a bad physical condition

How does dehydration / heat stroke develop?

When it’s hot, the body loses moisture by sweating. The body cools itself.

If you lose more moisture than you drink, your body eventually has too little moisture to evaporate. This increases the temperature in your body.

When exerted, the temperature may also increase. This is because the muscles make more heat than the skin can emit by sweating.

Due to insufficient moisture in the body, the skin of the trunk, arms and legs is not well bled. They then become pale and stop sweating. The body temperature is then higher. That is dangerous.

If this happens in the sun, we call it a sunstroke. Someone with a sunstroke is too hot and too dry.

The combination of drying and overheating can be dangerous. It is called a heat stroke.

As of today it is possible to make online an appointment with your doctor through our website.

You can click at the bottom on the icon.

This can be done every workingday, evenings and the weekends!

If you have a question, you are not sure whether you should come or the complaint is urgent, please always call with the practice.

We hope to improve accessibility and provide you with better service.
