Maurice Bom

General practitioner, BIG nr: 09020115201

A brief introduction of myself; I graduated in 1989 from medical school and wanted to see the world. Therefore, I finished a tropical training including surgery and gynaecology. I went to Zimbabwe in 1992 as a medical officer in a district hospital where I experienced a completely different culture and practice of health care. These years have definitely formed me. After coming back, I was interested in the organizational aspects of healthcare so I completed a master’s degree in public health. I worked in Brazil for the National Leprosy and Tuberculosis Programme. Again a wonderful experience, but after 3 years I missed direct contact with patients. With this background I studied for GP in 2002. Until today I do this work with great pleasure and enthusiasm. As a family doctor you can make a difference at certain times in one’s life. Along with my partner we have a son (1998) and a daughter (1999)

Marc van der Pas

General practitioner, BIG nr: 59909274701

As a doctor I like an open and friendly approach. Together withmy colleagues I want to deliver modern GP care while maintaining the personal relationship with the patient. I was born in 1981 and grew up in the east of Amsterdam. In 2007 I graduated as a doctor from the University of Amsterdam-AMC. I have worked as a doctor in the internal medicine department of the Lukas Andreas Hospital in Amsterdam West and at the emergency department of the Flevo Hospital in Almere. With this experience, I started on the GP course at the AMC in 2009 and early 2012 I finished successfully. I then worked as a general practitioner in Curaçao for half a year. I have a special interest in small surgery , anti-inflammatory injections and elderly care as well as palliative care (care in the last stage of life). I enjoy working in the multicultural neighborhood Amsterdam Zuidoost very much. I am married and have two daughters (2010 and 2013).

Addy van der Woude

General practitioner, BIG nr: 89909571101

Since I became a GP I have been working with great pleasure in Amsterdam Zuidoost. Previously in the Holendrecht district, but from February 2018 at Huisartsen Ganzenhoef. I grew up in the neighborhoods Bullewijk and Holendrecht and attended primary school there aswell. At primary school I already knew I wanted to become a doctor. During the study of medicine at the VU, it quickly became clear to me that I wanted to become a general practitioner. I like the diversity of the work of a GP. There is no day like the other. During my office hours I see all sorts of different people, of different ages and with all kinds of different problems passing by. Before I became a general practitioner, I worked in a nursing home for a year. During the GP training I gained extra experience in psychiatry, rheumatology, emergency first aid and in paediatrics. I also worked in general practices in Amsterdam-South and in Osdorp. I find it special that I can work on your health, together with you, nearby the neighborhoods where I grew up. Of course I wish you great health but when necessary, I welcome you at the consultation hour.

Louisa Yeboah

Nurse practitioner elderly care (POH-O)

I obtained my nursing diploma in 2011 and subsequently completed a number of specializations and additional trainings.
From May 2023 I am working as an elderly nursepractitioner at Huisartsen Ganzenhoef.
I am mainly concerned with elderly care. I focus on the care needs of the vulnerable elderly patient. This concerns daily functioning, physically, socially and psychologically. I carry out checks, provide guidance on medication use and provide information about diseases.
I work closely with the general practitioners, so that care is well coordinated.

Keetje de Boer

Psychologic therapist (POH-GGZ)

From 1978 I am working as a nurse in the healthcare system. My first experience was on the “outpatient department Ganzenhoef.” After that among other things I worked in the AMC hospital, a shelter for single mothers and in various refugee centers. The last eight years I worked as a psycho-social therapist in a practice for mental health where I treated youth, adults and families. My interest has always been in the spiritual wellbeing of men and how his or her story affects the body and mind. By talking, listening and using a creative approach in the conversation, I try to improve mental well-being and to find solutions for problems you experience. Trust and openness are important.

In practice, I support the general practitioners, Marc and Maurice, with the questions you have about your mental health or that of your children. You can make an appointment after consultation with your GP.
I’m married and have three adult children. Besides my work I like to expand my knowledge continuously. I like singing and being creative with clay or stone.

Ingrid Sporkslede

Psychologic therapist (POH-GGZ)

My name is Ingrid Sporkslede. I have been working in healthcare for 40 years, of which the last 20 years as a social psychiatric nurse (SPV). I’ve been working at Arkin as an SPV since 2006 and as a psychologic therapist (POH GGZ) at various general practices; in February 2019 I started at Huisartsen Ganzenhoef.

Over the years, I have increasingly focused on transcultural issues, including Winti.
On the one hand because of my own background, but mainly because I noticed that there is a need for it. The Netherlands is becoming increasingly diverse in terms of cultural and religious backgrounds. This can entail other issues and other approaches in healthcare.
As a Winti consultant and transcultural worker, I help people from non-Western cultures, who sometimes have a different explanation for their illness than those given in regular care. The trajectory that is started with them often does not match their own ideas and beliefs. My approach is always used as a dual track policy; together with the practitioner, I let the Western and non-Western treatments match.

I think it is important that everyone is heard and that everyone feels that he/she is being taken seriously here with his/her complaints. I am open to all people, cultures, religions and backgrounds. Taking people as they are is very important to me.

Leanne Beukers

Nurse practitioner social domain

In April 2019 I started as Social Support Practitioner. Patients are referred to me by the GP’s if there are problems or questions in multiple areas of life. I can think along about solutions and possibilities in the social domain and possibly request appropriate help and support. We mainly want to make use of the possibilities that the Bijlmer offers. And I know that is a lot, because in addition to my job at the GP practice I also work in a social district team in the Bijlmer.
I enjoy working in the general practice. The great thing about my work in the Bijlmer is the diversity of people I come in contact with. I find it a challenge to keep looking together again and again to help and move forward.

Hilda Brouwer

Practice manager

From May 2019 I have been working as a GP practice manager at Huisartsen Ganzenhoef. I am involved in non-patient-related activities. My most important task is unburdening the doctors in the practice organization. I do this with pleasure and my heart & soul.
In practical terms, this means that I work on the organization of the primary care and co-operation of other primary care givers in the neighbourhood. Personnel management is an important part of this. We are a close team and I pay a lot of attention to the well-being of employees and the promotion of expertise. I also contribute to improving the quality of care. There are several processes that run for this in the general practice. The practice participates in projects in the district and the city, aimed at improving care and innovation in care. Supervision and organization of these projects and processes is an important task for the practice manager. Ongoing projects include Krachtige Basiszorg, OZO Contact Zorg and the initiation of Positive Health in the practice.
Another important point of attention is the promotion of co-operation with other organizations in Amsterdam Southeast. This involves working in a neighborhood-oriented manner with the aim of improving the well-being of the residents of Southeast.
I work in several general practices and medical centers in the Amsterdam region. Every practice has its individuality and there are always differences, but everywhere a high level of quality and accessible care is paramount.
My background is diverse, I am a nurse with specialization in psychiatry and cardiology (currently not practising); graduated as a business HR Manager and a postmaster in Master Health Administration. I like to follow new developments and learn every day.
In my spare time I am active for the Red Cross, my great love is my commitment as a volunteer staff member during the 4-day walk of Nijmegen. Then, together with a colleague, I take care of the nearly 900 volunteers who work for the walkers behind the scenes.
You may have already noticed it: That whatever I do, it always as to do with the well-being of people.
