Verenso

Verenso, the Dutch Association of Elderly Care Physicians is a non-profit organization of over 2.000 members. Our main objective is to improve the health, independence and quality of life of frail elderly people. This is achieved by proactively responding to developments in health care and society by developing guidelines and policies, by lobbying, and by providing services to our members.

Board

The board  consists of professional elderly care physicians mrs. J.K. (Jacqueline) de Groot, mrs. A.M.S. (Anne) Belonje, mr. J.C.M. (Jan) Lavrijsen,  and mrs. N. (Nanda) Hauet, director. Jacqueline de Groot is also chairman of the board and represents the association. 

Supervisory board

From 1 January 2006, Verenso works officially with a supervisory board. This board supervises and monitors the policy outlines and their execution. The board consists of elderly care physicians and social geriatricians. The members of the board are appointed by the General Assembly of Members of Verenso.

Regions

The association has 18 regions. Each Verenso member is also a region member and is entitled to participate in regional meetings and activities. These meetings deal with professional and management issues and are used as a sounding board for both supervisory board and board of directors. Having its own management, the regions play an important role in implementing Verenso’s policy.

General Assembly of Members

Being the association’s highest organ, the assembly determines the policy outlines. They submit the policies, vision documents, budget and annual account to its members for agreement. Every year, in spring and autumn, Verenso organizes assemblies of members for the occupational group.
