It is an in-depth, proactive and preventative health assessment that is fully tailored to your unique profile. Your programme is based on your age, your daily lifestyle, your stress levels and any family risk factors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/news\/what-is-the-purpose-of-a-preventive-medical-check-up\/\">The aim<\/a> of this <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/news\/why-preventive-medicine-is-increasingly-important\/\">preventive medicine<\/a> is to detect any potential health risks or latent conditions before they cause physical symptoms.<\/p>\n<h3>What exactly do we look for during the screening?<\/h3>\n<p>So, when you choose one of <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/care-packages\/\">our tailored care packages<\/a>, you\u2019re opting for scientifically-backed prevention. Our programmes, from the Cardio Check to the Vital Check, are modular and tailored to your health profile. Nevertheless, the philosophy behind every medical screening is the same. <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/who-we-are\/\">Our doctors<\/a> We always work according to a set and logical step-by-step plan, starting with you as a person.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 1: The foundation \u2013 Clinical examination and targeted consultations<\/h4>\n<p>We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to diagnosing illnesses and treating patients. Every medical screening therefore begins with a thorough initial consultation, a clinical examination and the necessary specialist consultations. Before a single machine is even switched on, our doctors listen carefully to your story.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/investigations\/clinical-examination-cardiology\/\"><strong>The clinical trial:<\/strong><\/a> We will assess your medical history, family risk factors, current lifestyle, stress levels and any sector-specific workload.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/consultations\/\"><strong>Targeted consultations:<\/strong><\/a> Depending on the programme you have chosen, you will begin with targeted consultations. This may involve a consultation at <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/cardiology-consultation\/\">the cardiologist<\/a>, but also from our specialists such as <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/gastroenterology-consultation\/\">gastroenterology<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/contact\/\">neurology<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/dermatology-consultation\/\">dermatology<\/a>. This personal contact ensures that the doctors can examine the subsequent individual tests with a focused, discerning eye.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Step 2: Going into more depth \u2013 Effective medical examinations<\/h4>\n<p>Only once the doctors have clearly established the clinical picture and the priorities do they begin the actual <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/investigations\/\">investigations<\/a>. As we take a holistic approach to the body rather than focusing on a single discipline, we carry out a wide range of advanced diagnostic tests.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/cardiology-consultation\/\">Cardiology<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/pneumology-consultation\/\">pneumology<\/a>:<\/strong> We measure your heart\u2019s condition and electrical activity via <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/investigations\/electrocardiogram\/\">an electrocardiogram<\/a> at rest and during an intensive <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/investigations\/cycling-test\/\">cycling test<\/a>. We supplement this with <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/investigations\/echocardiography\/\">an echocardiography<\/a> and a pulmonologist <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/investigations\/pulmonary-function-tests-pneumology\/\">pulmonary function test<\/a> to test your lung capacity.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/gastroenterology-consultation\/\">Gastroenterology<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/urology-consultation\/\">urology<\/a>:<\/strong> Preventative screening of the digestive system and abdominal organs via <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/investigations\/lab-research-gastroenterology\/\">stool test<\/a> or a preventative <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/investigations\/colonoscopy\/\">colonoscopy<\/a>. In addition, we also carry out specific urological examinations such as <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/investigations\/uroflow-urology\/\">a uroflow<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/vascular-surgery-consultation\/\">Vascular surgery<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/radiology-consultation\/\">radiology<\/a>:<\/strong> By means of <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/investigations\/ultrasound-and-radiology\/\">ultrasounds<\/a> Using radiological imaging, we look deep beneath the skin. Our vascular specialists assess the condition of your blood vessels to minimise the risk of atherosclerosis or thrombosis.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/neurology-consultation\/\"><strong>Neurology:<\/strong> <\/a>An assessment of how your nervous system and brain functions work.

These insights are therefore essential for your long-term health and vitality.<\/p>\n<h3>Who is this check-up intended for?<\/h3>\n<p>Our preventive medical screenings are designed for anyone who wants to take control of their own vitality. From busy entrepreneurs and managers who want to prevent their bodies from being overworked to recreational or professional athletes who want to safely push their limits.

Once all the reports and findings have been finalised, we will arrange a detailed follow-up consultation with you and your treating doctor.

Who is actually allowed to access your medical records, and who isn\u2019t?<\/p>\n<h3>Can all doctors just read my medical records?<\/h3>\n<p>No, certainly not. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozo.be\/wieheefttoegang\">The Act<\/a> states that a doctor may only have access to your medical records if there is a direct treatment relationship.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a medical check-up at Doktershuis Antverpia, the cardiologist, the radiologist and the coordinating doctor who carried out your screening will have access to this data. A doctor or specialist, whether within or outside our practice, who is in no way involved in your medical screening or treatment, is not permitted to view your medical records for privacy reasons.<\/p>\n<h3>Are receptionists or the medical secretariat allowed to view my medical records?<\/h3>\n<p>This is a common concern. The answer to this is clear and strictly separate.<\/p>\n<p>Medical secretaries and receptionists play a crucial logistical role and, just like doctors, are bound by strict professional confidentiality.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They have access to your administrative and logistical details in order to organise and ensure that your visit runs smoothly and efficiently.<\/li>\n<li>They do not have systematic access to your detailed medical diagnoses, specialist reports or the specific results of your blood tests. Unless this is strictly necessary, for example, to send or archive a report securely at your explicit request.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At Doktershuis Antverpia, we therefore apply the strictest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vlaanderen.be\/uw-overheid\/werking-en-structuur-van-de-vlaamse-overheid\/hoe-werkt-de-vlaamse-overheid\/beheer-en-beveiliging-van-persoonlijke-gegevens-van-europese-burgers-gdpr-of-avg\">GDPR security protocols<\/a>, ensuring your data is fully protected from prying eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-5\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-5\" type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"vc_controls\">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById(\"row-unique-5\"));<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-parent=\"true\" class=\"vc_row row-container\" id=\"row-unique-6\"><div class=\"row double-top-padding triple-bottom-padding single-h-padding limit-width row-parent\"><div class=\"wpb_row row-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 blog_detail_kolom single-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\"  ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text alpha-anim animate_when_almost_visible\"  id=\"mobiel_responsief3\"><p class=\"font-146656 fontsize-208892 font-weight-500 text-color-227611-color\" ><span>What happens after the medical record?

Personalised lifestyle advice<\/h3>\n<p>If your medical records show that certain readings are not optimal \u2013 for example, due to early-stage insulin resistance, high blood pressure or a vitamin deficiency \u2013 this information is immediately put into practice. You\u2019ll receive practical, scientifically-backed advice on diet, exercise, stress management and any supplements needed to bring your levels back into the green zone.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Immediate internal referral where necessary<\/h3>\n<p>Should a specific medical issue come to light during the medical screening that requires further clinical care, you won\u2019t need to look for a specialist yourself. Thanks to our unique internal structure, we can refer you directly to the right experts for prompt and targeted treatment.<\/p>\n<h3>3. A valuable baseline measurement for the future<\/h3>\n<p>Your medical records are the perfect reference for the future. If you decide to have a check-up in a year or two\u2019s time, then they\u2019ll <a href=\"https:\/\/doktershuisantverpia.com\/en\/who-we-are\/\">our doctors<\/a> your new results right next to your old records.
