GPs – choosing and visiting a family doctor

A General Practitioner is also known as a GP, a local doctor or a family doctor. GPs specialise in general practice medicine, which means they care for many different health problems in all age groups. Some GPs have extra qualifications in a specialised area, such as pregnancy or
immunisations.

Almost all non-emergency medical problems should begin with a GP visit, and the GP will refer your child to a specialist if needed.

It is important to have your own regular GP who knows you and your children, and who has access to your complete medical history. This will allow the GP to develop an understanding of your family’s health needs so they can decide on the best treatment for you. A regular GP can get to know you
and help you feel comfortable to talk openly about personal issues.

Your GP will be able to:

• provide immunisations
  
• monitor children’s health and development
  
• treat non-serious accidents (e.g. cuts that need stitches, minor bangs to the head, and plastering some fractures)
  
• talk about your personal concerns and stresses
  
• make referrals to other service providers and support agencies
  
• liaise with hospital staff to help manage your child’s care after being in hospital.

There may be times when you or your GP want to get a second opinion from a specialist. Your GP can help you to choose where you may wish to go and the reason for the second opinion.

Finding and choosing the right GP

When looking for a GP, ask friends or family members who they recommend, or ask your Maternal and Child Health Nurse.

You can look for a doctor online via
Healthdirect. Ask clinics in your local area if any of their doctors have a special interest in treating children.

To help decide whether a new GP is right for you, ask yourself the following questions on your first visit:

• Do I feel comfortable with this GP?
  
• Do they listen to what I have to say?
  
• Do I feel comfortable asking questions?
  
• Does this GP understand my cultural needs?
  
• Does this GP allow me to choose treatments that suit my beliefs?
  
• Can I make a longer appointment time if necessary?
  
• Is this GP easy for me to get to?
  
• Do the clinic’s opening hours suit me?
  
• Does the clinic’s payment plan suit me?

How to make the most of GP appointments

You will need to book an appointment to see a GP, unless it is urgent. In urgent cases, your GP may be able to fit you in ahead of patients waiting with less urgent issues. In these cases, try to call ahead if possible. Some GP clinics offer walk-in appointments where a
booking is not necessary.

Most appointments are 10–15 minutes long. This is enough time for most simple general health problems. If you think the concern is more complex, or there are a number of issues you want to discuss, ask for a longer appointment. Ensure a separate appointment is booked for every person you wish to be seen on the day.

Before the appointment:

• write down the reason/s for your visit and any questions you wish to ask 
  
• make a list of all the medications your child is taking, including any complementary or alternative therapies.

During your visit:

• be prepared to discuss your concerns openly and honestly 
  
• write down anything that is important or that you might forget 
  
• ask questions if there is anything you don’t understand.

Accessing a GP after hours

If you are worried about your child after hours, but don’t feel that an emergency department visit is necessary, you may want to see an after-hours GP rather than wait until the next morning to see your regular GP.

Call your GP and listen to their telephone message. They usually have an after-hours number to contact in urgent cases. If they don’t, then you could phone NURSE-ON-CALL (1300 60 60 24 in Victoria), or call Healthdirect (1800 022 222 in all Australian states and territories) for
health advice and information on after-hours GPs. Or use Healthdirect’s
Find a health service to locate after-hours GP services in your area.

Many after-hours GP services are bulk billed. When you call an after-hours service, ask the operator for an explanation of any fees that may be charged for the appointment.

Your regular GP will be sent a report about the visit the next day.

Pre-referral guidelines

Sometimes your GP may refer your child to see a specialist for a second opinion or further advice. Waiting lists to see specialists at public clinics can sometimes be quite long. However, there may be several things your GP can do instead of referring you to a specialist at a hospital,
or that you can do while you wait for an appointment. If the waiting lists are very long, ask your doctor about alternatives (e.g. a private referral or other community services).

Your GP will have access to a variety of pre-referral guidelines about what services are available. These guidelines help them to make a decision about what tests or treatment your child should have before being seen at a hospital. This will make your
child’s eventual appointment more useful. It may also mean your child is seen more quickly or may even mean your child won’t need a referral after all. While you should not use these guidelines yourself to decide on treatment for your child, it may be helpful to suggest them to your GP.

Your child’s GP may also try calling a specialist for advice. This, however, may take some time, depending upon the working hours of the GP and the specialist. Email cannot be used for confidentiality reasons.

If your child needs to come into hospital

• Tell hospital admissions your GP’s name, address and phone number.
  
• Ask for a copy of the discharge summary when you are going home.
  
• Ask if a copy of the discharge summary is being sent to your GP.
  
• Ask the hospital doctor when your child should next see your GP.

Key points to remember

• A GP can give valuable advice and information on health and illness for all the family.
  
• It is important to have your own GP who knows you and has access to your complete medical history in order to provide the most appropriate care. 
  
• To make the most of your visit to the GP, think about what you want to ask before you go and write down all your questions. During the appointment ask questions if there is anything you don’t understand.
• Always book an individual appointment for each child who is unwell or you would like an opinion about.
• If your child needs to come into hospital, give the hospital your GP’s details.

Common questions our doctors are asked

How do I know if I should visit the GP or take my child to
the emergency department?

If your child is able to be settled, drinking well and responds to simple comfort measures, most problems can wait until the morning. If you are unsure if it can wait until the next day, please call your GP first for advice about making an appointment with them or how to access their locum service. If you are more worried, emergency departments are available at all hours. The
NURSE-ON-CALL telephone service will be able to guide you if you are concerned.

How much does it cost to visit the GP?

If the practice bulk bills, and you have a Medicare card, there will be no cost to you. If the practice does not bulk bill, costs can vary. The amount you are charged will depend on the practice and length of consultation. If there is a charge, you will be able to
get some of the cost back through Medicare.

Pediatrician – who is it and what does it treat?.

Publication date: 03/23/2022 00:00

A pediatrician is a doctor who treats, prevents diseases and diagnoses children under 18 years of age. From birth, the pediatrician ensures that the child grows and develops according to age norms.

The complexity of the profession lies in the fact that young patients need a special approach so as not to cause fear of doctors in the child. To do this, it is necessary to conduct an examination most gently, while identifying the symptoms of the disease, and choosing an effective treatment.

A pediatrician must have deep professional knowledge and be familiar with medical practice, because children’s complaints, due to their age, are not clearly formulated, it is difficult for them to explain what specifically worries them.

When should I visit a pediatrician?

Routine examination

The first routine examination is carried out at the age of 1 month and is repeated every month during the first year of life. After a year, scheduled examinations are recommended once every three months.

What is included in the examination:

• Measurement of height, weight, chest and head circumference of the child
• Examination of the throat, nose, genitals
• Palpation of the abdomen
• Listening with a phonendoscope

Pediatrician also available:

• Gives advice on breastfeeding
• Introduces the vaccination schedule
• Prepares individual comprehensive examination programs
• Gives advice on walking and complementary foods
• Provides referrals to subspecialists when necessary

It is important to have scheduled check-ups on time to prevent or correct health problems in time. Modern medicine is able to cope with most childhood abnormalities if they are detected early.

Unscheduled examination

Conducted if parents suspect that their child has a physical or mental illness. Parents should be alert to any changes in the behavior of the child.

Self-medication is not recommended for children. Those medicines and methods that are suitable for adults may not only be unsuitable for children, but also be dangerous for them. Therefore, it is necessary to contact a pediatrician as soon as possible in order to avoid complications and severe course of the disease.

When you need to see a pediatrician:

• Fever
• Stool disorders
• Nausea and vomiting
• Runny nose
• Cough
• Eye discharge and redness
• Appearance of rash
• Discoloration of the skin
• Pain in any part of the body
• Anxiety, aggression

In acute conditions such as high fever, fever, severe cough, chicken pox, the pediatrician should be called to the house to avoid the spread of acute viral infections.

There are also situations in which it is worth contacting an ambulance. Every parent should know them. This is:

• Acute conditions in children under 3 months of age
• Body temperature above 39 degrees
• Difficulty breathing, unusual noises and wheezing
• Seizures
• Sudden onset of rash with fever
• Loose stools with blood
• Persistent vomiting
• Injuries, fractures, bleeding

What else is the responsibility of a pediatrician?

Now the patient’s record is filled in both electronically and in paper form in order to prevent the loss of the medical history. Parents are also encouraged to keep extracts for particularly important diseases in the home archive.

• Referral for laboratory tests such as blood, urine, stool, allergy, bakpasevy, smears and other tests
• Referral for diagnostics: ultrasound, X-ray, CT, MRI
• Completing the vaccination certificate

Although most vaccinations are given during childhood, a vaccination certificate may be required throughout life.

Any member of the family can open a sick leave to care for a child: mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, older adult brother or sister.

• Selection of individual vitamin complexes
• Counseling parents on the prevention of SARS

A pediatrician is the doctor with whom parents meet most often and trust him with the most valuable thing – the health of their child. It is important that this is a competent specialist and a pleasant person who could not only provide qualified assistance, but also support the parent in difficult moments of the child’s illness.

We recommend choosing a pediatrician in advance, paying attention to the qualifications and education of the doctor, his work experience, patient reviews, the clinic where he sees, and its location relative to your home. Make your parenthood easy with ENT-CMV clinics.

Pediatrician – who is it and what does it treat? Everything about the medical specialty of a pediatrician and the diseases diagnosed by him in children at the MEDSI Clinic

A pediatrician is a doctor who assesses the physical and neuropsychic development of children, is engaged in the prevention and treatment of a number of diseases. Such a specialist has knowledge regarding the symptoms of various pathologies, knows the basics of pharmacology, selects the necessary instrumental and laboratory examination methods. Parents of both newborns, and kids who attend kindergarten, and schoolchildren turn to the pediatrician. The help of a doctor may be required both on a planned and emergency basis. We recommend that you make an appointment with specialists immediately after detecting the first signs of any pathologies. This will allow you to start treatment in the early stages of diseases, increase the effectiveness of therapy and increase the chances of a full recovery of the child.

How does a doctor work?

A pediatrician is a specialist who works both directly with his little patient and with his parents.

The main tasks of the doctor include:

• Collection of anamnesis – information about the child’s condition
• Inspections
• Diagnostic assignment
• Issuance of referrals to narrow specialists

Also, specialists without fail keep the cards of their patients. They indicate the time of admission, complaints, scheduled examinations, medications taken, procedures performed, etc. Parents should carefully monitor the maintenance of the card and not lose it. Also be sure to save all prescriptions and extracts. This will allow you to restore the medical history if the card is lost.

When to see a pediatrician?

A visit to the doctor can be planned and unscheduled.

Scheduled inspections

The first consultation is carried out within a month from the date of discharge from the hospital. This examination is at home. The pediatrician himself comes to his little patient. Further scheduled inspections are carried out monthly.

Doctor:

• Weighs the baby
• Measures his height
• Controls the development of the newborn

The specialist must monitor all the main indicators and, if there are deviations, refer the patient to narrow specialists. The doctor also prescribes vaccinations.

Inspections after a year are carried out in a planned manner 1 time in 3 months. At other times, parents can make an appointment if necessary.

Unscheduled inspections

An appointment with a pediatrician should be made when:

• Fever
• Soreness in any part of the body
• Digestive disorders
• Cough and runny nose
• Redness of the eyes
• Rash

Consultation with a specialist is required if parents think that their child has any deviations in physical or mental development.

Important! You don’t have to go to the clinic! The doctor can be called to the house. This reduces the risk of spreading the infection.

What does a pediatrician treat?

A pediatrician has knowledge and skills in the treatment of a wide range of diseases. If necessary, he refers the patient to a specialist.

The most common diseases include:

• SARS. This group includes a number of infections that provoke the appearance of a runny nose, cough and other symptoms
• Bronchitis and pneumonia
• Whooping cough
• Scarlet fever
• Rubella
• Varicella (“chickenpox”)
• Acute intestinal infections
• Worm infestations
• Pneumococcal and meningococcal infections

Pediatricians also treat allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, urticaria, atopic dermatitis and other diseases.

If necessary, specialists work together with endocrinologists, dermatologists, surgeons, gastroenterologists and other doctors. This allows you to quickly identify the pathology and carry out its adequate treatment in the shortest possible time. If necessary, pediatricians give directions for surgical interventions. Also, specialists monitor the condition of patients after surgery, throughout the rehabilitation period.

What is included in pediatric services

Doctors collect anamnesis, visual examination of the patient, general therapeutic palpation, tapping (percussion), measurement of body temperature, weight and height.

Children’s doctors:

• Give advice on breastfeeding, complementary feeding and newborn care
• Explain to parents how to reduce the frequency of colds

• Issue conclusions about the health group based on examination and recommendations issued by narrow specialists
• Develop an individual vaccination schedule
• Issue referrals for emergency vaccinations
• Issue certificates, sick leaves for parents, exemptions from physical education classes in kindergarten or school
