Important addresses on Terschelling

In the event of an emergency, it is useful to know where you can go on Terschelling.

General practitioners on Terschelling

On Terschelling you can go to our two general practices for medical matters; West-Terschelling GP practice and Midsland GP practice. The address details are given below. For emergencies you can reach practice West on telephone number: 0562-443333, practice Midsland on telephone number: 0562-448222 and for very serious emergencies and ambulance of course via 112. The big advantage of an island like Terschelling is that the ambulance and general practitioners are quickly on the spot are with the most advanced equipment and of course very knowledgeable and experienced staff.

In principle, you must make an appointment in advance if you want to visit during office hours. Every working day from 5.30 p.m. until 8 p.m. the following morning, one general practitioner is on duty on the island. In the weekly magazine "de Terschellinger" you can read which practice you can go to. Even then you must call in advance on one of the telephone numbers below.

If the condition is so serious that you need to be transported (directly) to the hospital, this can be done in 3 ways depending on the speed required:

  • By helicopter (the SAR helicopter of the Air Force in Leeuwarden;
  • The helicopter of the UMCG hospital in Groningen with the "Mobile Medical Team");
  • With the fast boat "de Koegelwieck" or "Tiger" or with a KNRM lifeboat.

Appropriate transportation to the hospital of Sneek, Leeuwarden or, if necessary, Groningen is also arranged for pregnant women who have unexpectedly announced their birth.

If you need medication, bandage material or aids, both GP practices are ready for you: they both have a pharmacy.

Of course, we wish you a healthy stay on Terschelling.
