I have an appointment at an outpatient clinic
At a outpatient clinic, you can come in for a consultation and treatment for your illness or disorder. This may include examination, diagnosis, treatment or screening. These tend to be short visits, without formal admission or overnight stays. The outpatient clinics are to be found in various locations in the main building of the LUMC.
Important information in advance
Peruse information
Have a good look at the letter you received at home before your visit. It contains information about how to prepare for your visit. Take a look at the information in the mijnLUMC patient portal. Write down your questions and complaints ahead of time, and take these along with you.
Admission and registration
For each visit to the LUMC, you have to report to the admissions booth in the main hall. To do this, you will need an identity document. Is this your first time at the LUMC? If so, then please register at the registration desk. Read more about .
