All professionals in the Dutch health care sector who are registered in the BIG register (Individual Healthcare Professions Act) are subject to medical disciplinary law. When a complaint is filed, the Healthcare Disciplinary Board will examine the actions of a BIG registered professional. As a health care provider, it is your primary goal to provide excellent care to your clients or patients. Receiving a disciplinary complaint can be a stressful experience. That is why it is important that your legal representation has extensive knowledge and experience in health law and disciplinary law.

What to expect in disciplinary proceedings
In medical disciplinary hearings peer professionals and lawyers will examine on a medical and legal level whether the conduct of the accused professional complies with the relevant norms and regulations. It is assessed whether the professional acted in a way that is consistent with the conduct we can expect from a conscientiously acting professional in similar circumstances. In addition to that, it is often examined whether certain laws and regulations have been complied with.
