Health assessments in general practice are a cornerstone of preventative healthcare, offering a proactive approach to identifying potential health issues and promoting overall well-being. These assessments, often conducted by practice nurses under the guidance of a GP, involve a thorough evaluation of a patient's health, including their medical history, lifestyle factors, and physical condition. They can help detect early signs of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, where intervention can be more effective. These assessments are supported by Medicare and are bulk billed.
