Consultation and function tests

There are strict measures for everyone coming to the hospital for a consultation or a function test.

On this page

Before coming to the hospital

  • Do you have any COVID-19 symptoms? Please contact your doctor before coming to the hospital.
  • Are you in home quarantine of COVID-19 positive? Please contact your treating doctor at UZ Leuven before coming to the hospital.

Corona screening

When you are admitted to the hospital with an overnight stay, you will be screened, regardless whether you are vaccinated or whether you have a recovery certificate. In a limited number of cases COVID-19 screening is required before you come to the hospitals. You will be informed in advance.

Registration

To avoid over-crowding in the reception hall, registration for consultations and functions tests will go through the mynexuzhealth app.

  • Download and configure the mynexuzhealth app before coming to the hospital.
  • Register via the mynexuzhealth app as soon as you're near the hospital.
  • After registering you can go directly to the waiting area of your consultation. You won't have to pass the registration kiosk or the registration staff at the registration desk.

No smartphone?

If you do not have a smartphone, you can register at the registration desk or kiosk in the lobby.

Escorting a patient

  • 1 healthy adult of age can join you and escort you to your appointment.
  • Brothers and sisters stay at home.

Respect the coronavirus measures

Read the general guidelines regarding face masks, hand hygiene, keeping your distance and specific measures in the hospital.
