Did you know the difference between a GP and a specialist? Part 2
This video expands on the previous one with further explanation of the difference in approach that is required between GPs and specialists.
There is simply not the time or money to do a whole body scan on every single patient that walks through the door, and it would hardly be practical, so in order to help as many people as possible, GPs work to manage risk, using what limited resources they have at their disposal, and refer only those they need to, so that specialists can do what is necessary to further help those who would benefit from specialist input.
Again, the NHS needs both GPs and specialists in order to get a complete picture of every patient and their conditions.
