 A GP manages sorts of illness that present in an undifferentiated way at an early stage of development, which can require urgent intervention. The holistic approach of general practice aims to require into consideration the biological, psychological, and social factors relevant to the care of every patient's illness. Their duties aren't confined to specific organs of the body, and that they have particular skills in treating people with multiple health issues. they're trained to treat patients of any age and sex to levels of complexity that change between countries. The role of a GP can vary greatly between (or even within) countries. In urban areas of developed countries, their roles tend to be narrower and focused on the care of chronic health problems; the treatment of acute non-life-threatening diseases; the first detection and referral to specialised care of patients with serious diseases; and preventive care including health education and immunisation. Meanwhile, in rural areas of developed countries or in developing countries, a GP could also be routinely involved in pre-hospital emergency care, the delivery of babies, community hospitalization and performing low-complexity surgical procedures. In some healthcare systems GPs add medical care centers where they play a central role within the healthcare team, while in other models of care GPs can work as single-handed practitioners. The term GP or GP is common within the UK, Republic of eire , and a number of other Commonwealth countries. In these countries the word "physician" is essentially reserved surely other sorts of medical specialists, notably in general medicine . While in these countries, the term GP features a clearly defined meaning, in North America the term has become somewhat ambiguous, and isn't synonymous with the terms general practitioner or medical care physician, as described below. Historically, the role of a GP was once performed by any doctor with qualifications from a school of medicine and who works within the community. However, since the 1950s, general practice has become a specialty in its title , with specific training requirements tailored to every country. The 1978 Alma Ata Declaration set the intellectual foundation of medical care and general practice.
