Family medicine (FM) came to be recognized as a medical specialty in India only in the late 1990s. [98] According to the National Health Policy – 2002, there is an acute shortage of specialists in family medicine. As family physicians play a very important role in providing affordable and universal health care to people, the Government of India is now promoting the practice of family medicine by introducing post-graduate training through DNB (Diplomate National Board) programs. Meetings (or ‘sessions’) with a Family Therapist usually last between 50-90 minutes, depending on client need and service organisation. The Family Therapist aims to make people feel welcome, and to give everyone a chance Family medicine and family physicians play a vital role in the healthcare system of a country. In the U.S. for example, nearly one in four of all office visits are made to family physicians. That is 208 million office visits each year — nearly 83 million more than the next largest medical specialty. Today, family physicians provide more care for America's underserved and rural populations than any other medical specialty.

GP practices closed between 2010–11 and 2014–15, while 91 opened and average practice list size increased from 6,610 to 7,171. [67] In 2016 there were 7,613 practices in England, 958 in Scotland, 454 in Wales and 349 in Northern Ireland. [68] There were 7,435 practices in England and the average practice list size in June 2017 was 7,860. There were 1.35 million patients over 85. [69] There has been a great deal of consolidation into larger practices, especially in England. Lakeside Healthcare was the largest practice in England in 2014, with 62 partners and more than 100,000 patients. Maintaining general practices in isolated communities has become very challenging, and calls on very different skills and behaviour from that required in large practices where there is increasing specialization. [70] By 1 October 2018, 47 GP practices in England had a list size of 30,000 or more and the average list size had reached 8,420. [71] In 2019 the average number of registered patients per GP in England has risen since 2018 by 56 to 2,087. [72] In Canada, aspiring family physicians are expected to complete a residency in family medicine from an accredited university after obtaining their Doctor of Medicine degree. Although the residency usually has a duration of two years, graduates may apply to complete a third year, leading to a certification from the College of Family Physicians of Canada in disciplines such as emergency medicine, palliative care, care of the elderly, sports and exercise medicine, and women's health, amongst others. When you request an appointment with the GP, our receptionists will ask you for a brief reason as to why you need an appointment. This is so that they can direct you to the appropriate person within our team which includes GPs, Practice Nurses, Physiotherapist, Social worker or Mental Health Practitioner.Or they may give you information about services or self-care options that you could access for your symptoms eg. the Minor Ailments service at the local pharmacy. General Practice services in Australia are funded under the Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS) which is a public health insurance scheme. Australians need a referral from the GP to be able to access specialist care. Most general practitioners work in a general practitioner practice (GPP) with other GPs supported by practice nurses and administrative staff. There is a move to incorporate other health professionals such as pharmacists in to general practice to provide an integrated multidisciplinary healthcare team to deliver primary care.
