Family Doctor London
Family medicine is a broader specialization than internal medicine or pediatrics. It essentially combines these two fields of medicine. A family doctor is authorized to provide care to both adult patients (like an internist) and children (like a pediatrician). They are the doctor for all family members. A family doctor ensures comprehensive medical care for the family, taking a holistic view of the patient, including their environment. They focus on the patient’s physical and mental well-being, recommending and encouraging health-promoting behaviors and the completion of preventive health screenings.

Who is a Family Doctor in the UK?
A family doctor is a personal healthcare provider within the National Health Service (NHS). Every resident of the UK should register with a family doctor, known as a General Practitioner (GP). In case of illness, it is to the GP that we turn for advice.
A GP is a primary care physician. Foreigners, especially those legally employed in the UK for an extended period, are eligible for care from British family medicine specialists. However, many Poles prefer to consult a doctor of Polish descent for their health concerns. Our clinic offers this opportunity.
Polish Family Doctor in London
A Polish family doctor in London is responsible for diagnosing and treating both common ailments, such as seasonal infections and certain infectious diseases, as well as more serious internal conditions. A family medicine specialist seeks the underlying causes of health issues, orders tests, and, after making a diagnosis, selects the appropriate treatment method or refers the patient to a specialist, such as an ENT specialist, cardiologist, or endocrinologist. A family doctor in the UK provides comprehensive healthcare for patients, as well as support for family members.
What Services Can You Expect from a Family Doctor?
Family doctors are responsible for providing general care to patients registered at the clinic. Whether it’s a minor issue or a symptom of a more serious illness, GPs are required to offer effective medical advice and provide appropriate treatment. Of course, if a condition requires more specialized attention, the doctor will refer the patient to the relevant specialist. However, they will not leave the patient without the necessary support. Our Polish clinic in London offers a full range of medical services to all its patients.
