GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Dutch term or phrase: Huisartsbezoek
"In 2006 nam huisartsbezoek onder twintigers in de randstad 20% toe."

Ik heb de zin verzonnen, maar dat is ongeveer wat ik zoek. Echte zin hieronder. Ik kan er natuurlijk wel iets op verzinnen, maar er is vast een standaardterm in het Engels die wordt gebruikt hiervoor. Die ik niet weet...

Omdat deze campagnes indirect leiden naar een geneesmiddel, huisartsbezoek stimuleren en geneesmiddelengebruik bevorderen...

doctor's visits / GP visits


Explanation:
"Doctor's visits" gets lots of hits and "GP visits" gets a substantial number as well. I would think "doctor's visits" would be okay here.

Example sentence(s):
  • Paying for a Doctor’s Visit in the Age of Medical Consumerism
  • What to expect at first GP visit?

agree  copheoske: It should be doctor's visits if it refers to a house call, or doctor visits if the doctor is visited by the patient in his consulting rooms.

agree  Laura Morwood: Same here in Northern Ireland, they are not keen!

  -> bedankt, Laura! Fijn te weten dat ik niet de enige was die ernaast zat! :-)
neutral  Jack den Haan: Frank, 'huisartsbezoek' can mean visiting the doctor at his surgery as well as a visit from the doctor at the patient's home. IMHO, your suggestion is not general enough.

Family doctor house call


Explanation:
GP is general practitioner en de opleiding is niet gelijk aan die van een huisarts. Family Practioner of Doctor is een huisarts, een uitgebreidere specialisatie. Deze opleiding is langer.
Housecall is een huisbezoek dwz de arts bezoekt de patient thuis.

While in these countries, the term GP has a clearly-defined meaning, in North America the term has become somewhat ambiguous, and is not necessarily synonymous with the term "family doctor".
