GP Standard 2

Comprehensive care

Our practice provides comprehensive care to our patients.

The scope of general practice is not limited by age, gender, body system, disease process, or service site. As such, general practice spans:

prevention
health promotion
early intervention for those at risk
management of acute, chronic and complex conditions
end-of-life care
the entire practice population, whether in the practice, patients’ homes, health service facilities, outreach clinics, hospitals, or other community facilities and spaces.

This Standard includes criteria that relate to:

providing comprehensive care in a general practice context
the practice’s system for recalls and reminders
the coordination of care outside of the practice.
