At a glance
- The journal of the KNMG, the Royal Dutch Medical Association (Koninklijke Nederlandsche Maatschappij tot bevordering der Geneeskunst), published in print and online.
- Publishes news, features, opinion pieces and interviews on medicine, health policy and the work of doctors.
- Also covers books, media and culture around medicine; our scan included an interview with brain researcher Dick Swaab.
- Offers a look at how doctors themselves think about prevention, lifestyle medicine, ageing and the end of life.
- Useful for seeing how new insights are discussed and critiqued within the Dutch medical world, away from the popular press.
- We include it as a source for interviews and debate among doctors, not as a scientific reference in itself.
Criticism and nuance
Aimed at doctors and healthcare professionals: the perspective is that of professional practice, and opinion pieces reflect their authors’ views.
