Go to translated Dutch blog

This weblog used to get frequent translations from my Dutch blog. It is however not updated anymore becanuse Google Translate does a pretty good job at it. I still blog weekly in Dutch on http://leandenkenindezorg.blogspot.com/ and you can use this link to have it translated into English.

About me

My name is Marc Rouppe van der Voort and I work in the St. Elisabeth Hospital inTilburg in the Netherlands. I also work on a phd research on the 'reactive capacity of hospitals' in University Maastricht. The views on this blog are however my personal views. Examples are as much taken from the Elisabeth as from other hospitals that I visit for my work. The blogs are a translation from my weekly Dutch blog. Because some blogs are only interesting for the Dutch audience I publish on average one or two english versions per month.
