family doctor

Dr. Jennifer Hamilton, a family doctor in Philadelphia, has relied for years on the CDC’s guidance.

Jess had contact with six different doctors at her GP surgery and three face-to-face consultations with a family doctor, but no referral to a specialist was made.

Nearly a decade ago the Scottish government unveiled plans to allow family doctors to spend more time with patients and cut their overall workload.

The family doctor put her mind at ease.

The surgery now has an expanded team of health professionals to complement the work of family doctors, including an advanced nurse practitioner and a clinical pharmacist, which can see patients.
