General medicine at Rebalance

General-practice appointments are not currently listed with a Rebalance practitioner. We are looking for a GP to join the centre. This page explains the role of general medicine, but it is not an appointment offer. Please check the current team directory for the professionals who are available.

When is a general practitioner a useful first contact?

A GP can assess new or persistent symptoms, discuss prevention and medicines, consider whether tests are needed and help you decide when another professional or specialist should be involved. The first consultation starts with your history, your concerns and an examination when appropriate. A referral or scan is not automatic; the decision depends on the assessment.

For ongoing problems, a GP can help keep an overview of your medical history and revisit a plan when symptoms or circumstances change. If you already have a GP, keep them informed about relevant care you receive elsewhere. Do not assume that consultations with different professionals at the centre share one record or replace contact with your regular doctor.

What can you prepare for a consultation elsewhere?

Write down your main question, when a symptom began, what has changed and how it affects daily life. Bring an up-to-date medication list, relevant reports and any instructions from previous appointments. If you are uncertain what matters, say so: you do not need a diagnosis before asking for help.

If you have sudden severe symptoms or believe there is an emergency, seek urgent medical care rather than waiting for a routine appointment. In Belgium, the emergency number is 112.

The physiotherapists, osteopaths and other professionals shown in our directory have their own scopes of practice; they are not substitutes for a GP when medical assessment is needed.
