General Practice in Ibiza
In general practice, the general practitioner is responsible for the care of patients. This professional provides primary care, assessing the patient’s state of health and referring to a specialist if necessary. General practitioners act as a first step prior to specialist care.
What is General Practice?
General medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the comprehensive health care of patients. It acts as the first level of care, providing initial assessments and basic treatment, mainly through outpatient consultations.
Objectives of General Practice
The main objective is for each patient to be in good health. For this reason, prevention of possible pathologies is essential, something that can be carried out by means of regular check-ups and examinations.
General medicine can also carry out certain diagnoses. This means treating possible illnesses or infections that require simple procedures that are carried out directly on an outpatient basis. There is no need to go to a hospital for these procedures.
When to go?
As a patient, it is normal for you to have doubts about when you should go to a general practitioner versus an internal medicine or nursing practice.
You should mainly go if you detect any type of symptomatology that causes you pain or affects your day-to-day life, as this indicates that something is wrong, so that the doctor can assess it and send you, if necessary, to an appropriate specialist.
Differences between internal and general medicine
Although sometimes confused, general medicine and internal medicine are distinct areas. Internal medicine is a speciality for which the physician has undergone specific training. In contrast, general medicine focuses on primary care without requiring formal specialisation.
Another important difference lies in the age of the patients. While internal medicine focuses primarily on adults, general practice sees patients of all ages.
