The changing face of Family Practice

  • Dr Basil Michaelides

Abstract

The profile of the average Family Practitioner has changed over the last twenty years. We have regained much of our lost stature in the eyes of the public and our specialist colleagues, after the soul searching of the status of the General Practitioner, when it was felt that the family doctor was going to disappear from the medical scene in the fifties and sixties.
