General practice is a unique discipline. Rigorous scientific medical training, with the ability to apply the evidence appropriately in community settings, places general practice at the centre of an effective primary health care system. Through diagnosis and treatment of all primary health conditions, our general practice provides a person-centred, continuing, comprehensive and coordinated health care to individuals and families.
Coordination and Clinical Teamwork
General practitioners work in close and respectful relationships to deliver accessible and integrated patient care. Appropriate external referrals to specialist health care providers both medical and allied health providers, allows a multidisciplinary team approach to your health care. Clinical skill is required to manage the uncertainty and complexity of whole-person care, with the scope of clinical practice varied; spanning prevention, health promotion and early intervention for those at risk.
