Modern primary care: the changing role of the general practitioner

16. 4. 2024
Primary care is the cornerstone of our health system and has a direct impact on the overall health of the population. In the AGEL healthcare group, which is synonymous with quality in healthcare, general practitioners play a key role not only as direct providers of care but also as guides for clients in navigating the healthcare system.
Modern primary care: the changing role of the general practitioner

THE NEW ROLE OF GENERAL PRACTITIONERS

The modern general practitioners working in AGEL facilities are no longer just the first point of contact for patients but a vital element in the prevention and overall management of chronic diseases. Integrating the latest technologies and advanced methods enables us to treat patients faster and more effectively.

HEALTH LITERACY

Another pillar on which our efforts stand is increasing health literacy. Well-informed patients who understand the importance of prevention and are closely acquainted with their health condition cooperate much more effectively on their treatment plans. In the AGEL network, the general practitioner thus functions as both a primary care provider and a mentor who motivates patients to take a proactive approach to their health.

In our year-round healthcare programme, we offer the possibility to register with a general practitioner, to consult about the state of your health 24/7, the arrangement of appointments in the wider network of AGEL Group medical facilities, the possibility to consult outpatient specialists for specialised examinations, annual preventative health checks, appointments at specific times with minimum waiting times for tests or vaccinations, and the services of a coordinator and personal assistance.
