In the area of health law, Caroline has had broad experience in the areas of medical disciplinary rules, privacy legislation and partnership disputes in health care.

In practice, Carolien has conducted many legal proceedings and provided advice. As trainee judge, she became familiar with the other side of the process.

She is also a member of the Supervisory Board of a school advisory service.
