Practice for general medicine – Beatrice Roßbach and colleagues

We are here for you!

Now that we are in the holiday season, we are standing in for other GPs in the area, which means that enquiries to our team are piling up, resulting in longer processing times for emails, answering machines and faxes. Please order well in advance! If you run out of medication, please contact us directly (with some waiting time).

On september 11th our practice will be closed for organisatoray reason. We appreciate Dr. Sohst-Brennenstuhl, Friedensallee 260, 22763 HH, Tel: 040 8803038 will represent us.

As a GP practice, we have to constantly adapt our appointment scheduling to current situations. Unfortunately, unplanned waiting times due to acute physical and psychological emergencies are unavoidable and often incomprehensible to you. Increasingly, people with serious complaints are coming to our practice who have been unable to find a GP appointment elsewhere. This makes scheduling more and more difficult for us.

You can be sure that we will be there for you on time and avoid waiting times wherever possible. We ask for your understanding!

In recent years, we have always endeavoured to offer you a practice that is open almost continuously. Our aim is always to provide you with prompt appointments and emergency care at short notice. To achieve this, we have increased our staff, which in turn has led to higher costs. Our service for your good care is worth it! Due to the severe losses in practice income (fee payment below 75% for 100% work performed!) and the resulting necessary reduction in staff, we must continue to close the practice on all Wednesday afternoons from 02:00 p.m.. If the income of Hamburg’s GPs is further reduced, we will be forced to restrict our consultation hours even further in the future.

Take part in the GP programmes of your health insurance company! This will provide you with even better care (e.g. check-up every 2 years) and ensure the preservation of GP practices in Hamburg through full payment of fees and thus predictable financing of our team. Medical assistants should not have to do their responsible and often stressful work for minimum wage!

Patients with a flu-like infection are still required to wear a face mask in our practice. They are also asked to wait outside the practice until our staff ask them to come in.

On this occasion, we are taking a clear stand:

EVERYONE is welcome in our practice – no place for racism and marginalisation !
