Whois & Analysis for foundersfamilymedicine.com

Family medicine is a medical specialty within primary care that provides continuing and comprehensive health care for the individual and family across all ages, genders, diseases, and parts of the body.

The specialist, who is usually a primary care physician, is named a family physician.

It is often referred to as general practice and a practitioner as a general practitioner.

Historically, their role was once performed by any doctor with qualifications from a medical school and who works in the community.

However, since the 1950s, family medicine / general practice has become a specialty in its own right, with specific training requirements tailored to each country.

The names of the specialty emphasize its holistic nature and/or its roots in the family.

It is based on knowledge of the patient in the context of the family and the community, focusing on disease prevention and health promotion.

According to the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA), the aim of family medicine is "promoting personal, comprehensive and continuing care for the individual in the context of the family and the community".

The issues of values underlying this practice are usually known as primary care ethics.

Edinburgh Castle is a historic castle in Edinburgh, Scotland.

It stands on Castle Rock, which has been occupied by humans since at least the Iron Age, although the nature of the early settlement is unclear.

There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until 1633.

From the 15th century, the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison.

Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half.

A clinic (or outpatient clinic or ambulatory care clinic) is a health facility that is primarily focused on the care of outpatients.

Clinics can be privately operated or publicly managed and funded.

They typically cover the primary care needs of populations in local communities, in contrast to larger hospitals which offer more specialized treatments and admit inpatients for overnight stays.

An urgent care center (UCC), also known as an urgent treatment centre in the United Kingdom, is a type of walk-in clinic focused on the delivery of urgent ambulatory care in a dedicated medical facility outside of a traditional emergency department (ED) located within a hospital.

Urgent care centers primarily treat injuries or illnesses requiring immediate care but not serious enough to require an ED visit.
