What is primary Auckland's urgent care?

Posted by John Smith on November 1st, 2019

If your child has a fever, cough, develops a rash, does not breathe well or is nauseous, usually your primary care doctor can find the cause of the problem and decide what should be done in each case.

Primary care doctors can usually treat their patients' conditions in their consultations. But, if they couldn't treat them, they would refer them to trusted specialists. 

If your child needs to undergo prolonged treatment or enter a South Auckland medical Centre, your primary care physician would supervise your treatment, help make decisions about it, or refer you to other specialists if necessary.

One of the most important functions of primary care physicians is to help children not to get sick, which is called preventive medicine.
For your child to receive the best preventive care, you must establish a good relationship with a primary care physician that you like and whom you trust. 

You should also take your child to all scheduled regular visits, get vaccinations when you touch and follow the doctor's advice so that your child leads a healthy lifestyle, controlling his body weight and doing a sufficient amount of physical exercise.

Types of primary care doctors:

There are several different types of Botany urgent care doctors who can treat children and adolescents. Knowing which one is best for you is something that will depend on the specific needs of your family:

Family doctors or GPs: Doctors who care for patients of all ages, from breastfeeding, childhood, and adolescence to adulthood and old age.

Pediatricians: Doctors who care for babies, children, and adolescents.

Specialists in adolescent medicine: Pediatricians or internists who have additional training to serve the adolescent population.
Specialists that combine internal medicine with pediatrics: by having specialized training in pediatrics and internal medicine, they can serve both young and adult patients.

Obstetricians and gynecologists: specialize in women's health and sometimes practice as primary care doctors for girls who have already started menstruating.

Medical nurses or medical assistants: In the US, these professionals sometimes perform this function in the consultation of experienced doctors or pediatricians.
