Les denne artikkelen på norsk →
Helsenorge is the official service for GPs (fastlege) in Norway. You can search there without logging in, and that is where you change GP. DinLos uses the same figures and adds one thing: we keep watch for you and let you know when something opens.
What Helsenorge does
- Shows every GP with open spots and waiting lists. Searching does not require logging in.
- Is where you change GP and join a waiting list. For that you log in.
- Has an English version.
What DinLos adds
- Alerts when something opens. We let you know when a GP in your municipality gets an open spot or opens a waiting list. Free by e-mail, or by text message within ten minutes from NOK 99. See alerts and prices.
- The queue over time. Each GP page shows how the waiting list has changed day by day, from our own measurements of Helsenorge's figures.
- Overview by municipality, clinic and GP. Separate pages for each municipality and each clinic, with the nearest GPs that have open spots.
DinLos is in Norwegian. The figures are fetched from Helsenorge every ten minutes. When you change GP, Helsenorge is what counts.
