Online General Practice Appointment
With MedicalPort, you can book an online consultation with a General Practitioner (Family Doctor) via secure video consultation, where your health concerns will be assessed by a qualified medical professional.
General Practice (Family Medicine)
General Practice (Family Medicine) is the medical specialty responsible for primary healthcare. It provides comprehensive, person-centred care, taking into account your medical history, family background and lifestyle.
This ongoing approach supports the prevention, assessment and management of a wide range of health concerns. When clinically appropriate, your doctor may work alongside other medical specialists or healthcare professionals to help coordinate your care.
General Practice provides holistic healthcare across health promotion, disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care.
During your consultation, the doctor will discuss your symptoms and health concerns, assess your individual circumstances, and advise on appropriate next steps based on their clinical judgement.
Ongoing Care and Clinical Follow-up
An online consultation provides an opportunity to discuss health concerns, review symptoms and support the ongoing management of existing health conditions where appropriate.
Following the clinical assessment, the doctor may provide medical advice and recommendations for ongoing care. Where clinically appropriate and in accordance with applicable regulations, relevant medical documentation may also be provided.
If further assessment is considered necessary, the doctor may recommend an in-person consultation or additional diagnostic investigations.
