  • coordinates the care of patients and refers patients to other specialists
  • cares for patients in a whole of person approach and in the context of their work, family and community
  • cares for patients of all ages, sexuality, and disease categories
  • cares for patients over a period of their lifetime
  • provides advice and education on health care
  • performs legal processes such as certification of documents or provision of reports in relation to motor transport or work accidents.
