What do General Practice Physicians do?
General practice physicians, also known as General Practitioners (GPs) or primary care providers, provide comprehensive healthcare services to individuals of all ages, acting as the first point of contact for most health concerns.
Their duties include diagnosing and treating common illnesses, providing preventive care through vaccinations and routine checkups, managing chronic conditions, and referring patients to specialists when necessary.
They focus on the patient as a whole, addressing physical, mental, and emotional issues, and providing lifestyle counseling on topics such as diet and exercise.
Diagnosis and Treatment: They diagnose and treat a wide range of common illnesses, such as colds, flu, skin problems, and gastrointestinal issues.
Preventive Care: GPs provide health education, give vaccinations, perform routine exams, and conduct health-risk assessments to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent illness.
Management of Chronic Conditions: They manage ongoing health problems, such as diabetes or heart disease, often coordinating care with other medical specialists to ensure comprehensive treatment.
Referrals to Specialists: If a patient’s condition requires specialized expertise, the GP refers them to the appropriate medical specialist.
Acute and Emergency Care: They offer treatment for acute illnesses and injuries, and can provide life-saving care in emergencies until further assistance arrives.
Health Promotion: GPs offer advice on healthy habits, including diet, exercise, and smoking cessation.
Mental Health Support: They also conduct mental health assessments and provide support for mental and emotional health issues.
