2018

On May 25th a delegation of  the Ministry of Health and the National Health Insurance Service from South Korea, visited Buurtzorg. We welcomed them at a Buurtzorg team office in The Hague.

First we walked to a clients home, accompanied by Buurtzorg community Nurse, Joyce van der Ham. This visit and meeting Ben, gave a good impression how Buurtzorg nurses work with their clients.

Always a very special part of a study visit and higly appreciated by the visitors and clients. To see “The Buurtzorg Model” in action…that’s where the penny drops!

 

Back at the team office we started with a interactive session,

all the different cornerstones of Buurtzorg were thoroughly examined, which gave the participants a good understanding of Buurtzorg and The Buurtzorgpension (guesthouse).

During lunch one of the participants was already thinking of the next steps back in Korea!

Looking back on this day, it was very successful.

Thanks to the clients and the Buurtzorg nurses!
