For licensing reasons, a distinction is made between two service groups when providing the services.

Employees who belong to a university specialised clinic ("university clinic for subject area") can access the services listed in service portfolio 1 (LP 1).

Employees working in specialised clinics that support teaching ("clinic for subject area") have access to service portfolio 2 (LP 2) focussed on teaching.

Employees of specialised clinics who are not involved in teaching for the Faculty of Medicine cannot be given a separate service portfolio and access.
