General Practice · Bryanston
Your first stop when something feels off.
General practice covers a broad range of everyday health concerns, new symptoms and follow-up needs for adults and families.
You do not need a diagnosis before booking. The consultation is where the problem is assessed, examined and placed in context.
Common reasons to book
Broad primary care for everyday medicine.
Fatigue, headaches, dizziness, pain, swelling or symptoms that are new or unexplained.
Reflux, abdominal discomfort, nausea, bowel changes and other gastrointestinal symptoms.
Rashes, acne, irritation, infections and other changes that need medical assessment.
Back pain, strains, sprains and other common musculoskeletal complaints.
Medication review, repeat prescriptions where clinically appropriate and review after previous treatment.
What happens in a GP consultation?
Assessment first. Then a clear next step.
01
Understand the concern
The doctor takes a focused history, including symptoms, timing, medication, previous illness and relevant risk factors.
02
Examine where appropriate
A physical examination helps narrow the possibilities and identify findings that may change the plan.
03
Decide what is needed
Management may include treatment, medication, blood tests, imaging, monitoring or referral depending on the clinical picture.
04
Follow up when necessary
Persistent symptoms, investigation results or treatment response may need review rather than a once-off consultation.
Important
Know when primary care is not enough.
Emergency symptoms need emergency care.
Severe chest pain, major breathing difficulty, loss of consciousness, severe bleeding, stroke-like symptoms or another life-threatening emergency should be assessed urgently through emergency services rather than waiting for a routine GP appointment.
