Roeterseiland campus (photo: Jordi Huisman) - The UvA's GP practice will be officially opening a new health centre on the Roeterseiland campus on 1 September. The centre will house branches of the UvA general practitioners office, Studentist dental practice, dietician practice Samen Sterk, and Mentaal Beter psychologist's practice. There will also be PsyPoli - a treatment centre from the Faculty of Social and Behavourial Science's programme group Clinical Psychology - as well as physiotherapists from the University Sports Centre. The UvA has been providing doctor's services to its students since before World War Two. In 1981, the university set up a general practice on the Oude Turfmarkt in the centre of the city. The health centre is the brainchild of the head GP, Peter Vonk, who has been with the practice almost since its inception. Vonk: 'The opening of this health centre is the culmination of a long-held wish for our practice.
