Stichting DOKh

What Stichting DOKh does

Stichting DOKh is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (stichting) headquartered in Alkmaar, Netherlands, that delivers an integrated portfolio of CRKBO-accredited continuing education and independent legal/quality services to Dutch primary care healthcare providers. Its core educational offering consists of nascholingen — including live trainings, e-learnings, Post-MBO specializations in tracks such as CVRM, Osteoporose, SOH and Wondzorg, congresses and triage training — that count toward mandatory BIG and NAPA re-registration points for general practitioners (huisartsen), doctors' assistants (doktersassistenten), practice supporters (POH) and midwives (verloskundigen). Course delivery runs on a learning management system hosted at dokh.anewspring.com for asynchronous e-learning content and on the Zoom platform for live, interactive online sessions that require camera activation to qualify for accreditation credit.

DOKh monetizes through a hybrid revenue model combining recurring annual subscriptions (nascholingsabonnement for training access and geschilleninstantie/klachtenregeling membership to satisfy Wkkgz legal obligations), one-time course, e-learning and congress fees, and professional services for independent complaints handling, dispute settlement, calamity investigations, confidential advisor support and medical expertise for primary care, midwifery and cosmetic healthcare. The organization serves a national Dutch customer base of individual practitioners and small-to-mid-sized primary care practices. GTM is sales-led, relying on direct website enrollment, event-driven marketing through webinars and congresses, organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram), a newsletter, SEO-driven blog content and localized talent acquisition for regional instructor and PAM roles. Revenue, headcount and funding are not disclosed; the entity has no parent company, no subsidiaries and no institutional investors identified in the source material.

Direct peers

• Triage Academy / TotaalBEDEK NL: Dutch triage training providers for huisartsenpraktijk and doktersassistenten — directly competing with DOKh's triagetrainingen product line for the same medical-assistant customer segment in the Netherlands.
• CBO (TNO / Capaciteitsorgaan training programs): CBO (Centraal Begeleidingsorgaan) is a Dutch organization that develops and delivers accredited continuing education for healthcare professionals — directly competing with DOKh's accredited nascholing catalogue across multiple disciplines and customer segments.
• Skills Medics: A Dutch provider of accredited practical skills training (BLS, ALS, trauma) for healthcare professionals — directly competing with DOKh's resuscitation and practical skills course offerings for Dutch GPs and assistants.
• NAPA (Nederlandse Associatie Physician Assistants): NAPA is the registration body for physician assistants in the Netherlands and oversees CE point accumulation that DOKh serves — they set re-registration requirements that drive demand for DOKh's accredited courses and act as a gatekeeper/adjacent authority in the same segment.

Broad incumbents

• Wolters Kluwer Health (Netherlands / Lippincott): Wolters Kluwer delivers accredited medical CE content and clinical decision tools globally, including in the Netherlands — competing with DOKh's e-learning catalogue with much greater content depth, multi-language reach, and capital backing.
• KNMG: The Royal Dutch Medical Association, KNMG sets physician accreditation standards and offers CME-eligible training and registration support across all Dutch medical specialties — overlapping DOKh's BIG registration and CME/CE offerings but at a broader, multi-specialty scale.
• KNOV (Koninklijke Nederlandse Organisatie van Verloskundigen): The Royal Dutch Organization of Midwives, KNOV sets midwife CE requirements and is the professional association for verloskundigen — one of DOKh's primary customer segments — making it both a CE-requirement driver and a potential alternative provider.
• NHG (Nederlands Huisartsen Genootschap): The Dutch College of General Practitioners, NHG provides accredited continuing education, clinical guidelines, and practice support to Dutch GPs — directly competing for the huisartsen CE market that DOKh serves, while operating from a broader association mandate.
