General Practice Respective Theme

The role of a GP can vary greatly between (or even within) countries. In urban areas of developed countries, their roles tend to be narrower and focused on the care of chronic health problems; the treatment of acute non-life-threatening diseases; the first detection and referral to specialised care of patients with serious diseases; and preventive care including health education and immunisation. Meanwhile, in rural areas of developed countries or in developing countries, a GP could also be routinely involved in pre-hospital emergency care, the delivery of babies, community hospitalisation and performing low-complexity surgical procedures. In some healthcare systems GPs add medical care centers where they play a central role within the healthcare team, while in other models of care GPs can work as single-handed practitioners.
