Assessment of the need for care
We provide both non-urgent and urgent assessment of the need for care. Our expert professionals can respond to customer contacts not only by phone, but also via the Omaolo service or chat. Read more about the assessment of the need for care >
General practitioner and specialist appointments
Comprehensive physician’s services are part of our core competency in outpatient care. The availability of Terveystalo’s appointment services is excellent in both urgent and non-urgent cases. When specialized medical care is needed, we actively encourage our patients to exercise their freedom of choice to ensure fast access to specialized care.
We provide both on-site appointment services and modern remote appointments. Read more about our remote and digital services >
Leasing of personnel

Physician-in-charge services
Our nationwide physician-in-charge services offer a solution for the provision of health services for customers in home care and ordinary and intensified service housing units. Our experienced physicians are responsible for the treatment of diseases and symptoms and pharmacotherapy in its entirety, both on site and with digital tools. The physician-in-charge service guarantees competent, around-the-clock medical support for the personnel of the home care or housing unit, making it easier for them to plan the care of their customers, discuss with relatives, and avoid unnecessary visits to the emergency department. The cost of the physician-in-charge service for one customer for the period of three months corresponds to the cost of one unnecessary emergency department visit, which means that effective treatment can also save costs.
Oral health
We provide a comprehensive range of options in oral health care services, from the clearing of queues and personnel leasing to extensive partnerships. Read more about our oral health services >

We are Finland's leading national provider of occupational health services and are already responsible for the occupational health of more than 80,000 employees working in the public sector. Finland’s most extensive patient database and knowledge of various industries guarantee that we know the health, employees, and work demands of Finns.

Therapy services
It is important for us to treat people as human beings. The goal of therapy and rehabilitation is to improve the customer’s quality of life and functionality in everyday life as much as possible. We offer comprehensive expert services in mental well-being and the improvement, maintenance, and rehabilitation of physical functional capacity. Therapy is available for children, young people, and adults, both in groups and individually. Services can be purchased flexibly in many ways, for example with a service voucher or as remote services.

Assessment of the work ability of the unemployed and partially disabled
We provide assessments of the work ability of the unemployed and partially disabled. Assessments of work ability and functional capacity carried out by occupational health physicians include a work ability negotiation, the planning of rehabilitation, and the necessary statements. The service is also available remotely.
The activities are always planned and agreed in cooperation with your organization. The following may be included in the service:
• Nurse’s services
• Appointments with a specialist, such as a physiatrist, orthopedist or psychiatrist
• Neuropsychological examinations
• Evaluation by a psychologist, physical therapist, or other professional
• Imaging and the necessary laboratory tests
Remote consultations
Remote consultations enable both real-time and non-urgent communication between professionals. The most typical remote consultations take place between a nurse and a general practitioner or between a general practitioner and a specialist. Read more about our remote and digital services >
