Everyday Medical Care for You and Your Family
General medical care at Covenant King Hospital supports adults and families through routine consultations and ongoing health needs.
ABOUT THE SERVICE
Your First Point of Care for Everyday Health Concerns
General Practice / Family Medicine provides everyday medical care for adults and families. It can be a useful first point of contact when you have a health concern, need a medical review or want guidance on your next step in care.
Routine consultations and follow-up can help you discuss your needs with a healthcare professional as they change over time.
WHEN TO SEE A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL
When You Need Medical Advice or Assessment
You can book a general medical consultation for a range of everyday health concerns. Some common reasons to speak with a healthcare professional include:
A new health concern
A health issue that is not improving
A routine medical consultation
Follow-up for an existing health concern
Advice on whether further assessment or specialist care may be needed
YOUR CARE JOURNEY
What to Expect During General Medical Care
Each consultation is guided by your needs. These stages show how care may continue from assessment to follow-up.
Consultation
Discuss your health concern and relevant history with a healthcare professional.
Clinical Assessment
An assessment helps the healthcare professional understand your needs and consider the next step.
Next Steps in Care
Depending on your assessment, care may involve treatment, further review, diagnostic services or specialist care.
Follow-Up
Where follow-up is needed, further review can help monitor progress and guide care.
ONGOING CARE
Ongoing Care as Your Health Needs Change
Some health concerns require follow-up rather than a single consultation. Ongoing review can help the care team understand how you are progressing and consider what further care may be appropriate.
As your needs change, a general medical consultation offers a way to discuss new concerns and review the next steps in your care.
WHEN FURTHER CARE IS NEEDED
