We center on the improvement and support of diagnostics and the treatment of disorders that are relevant to family practices. The focus is on infectious diseases, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. We also conduct research into primary care innovations, mainly in the areas of disease management, patient safety, e-Health and self-management. For this research, we use the departments networks, such as the Julius Network of General Practitioners,  the Leidsche Rijn Health Project and NUZO Utrecht Care for the Elderly Network.
