There is a network of 20 SUs in the Netherlands. Forty-five percent fully met the SU-19 score (mean 18,0 ± 1.1). Slight variety existed in protocols for autonomic function tests. Neurology and cardiology were mostly involved in syncope management. Non-physicians play an important role in syncope care.
