Public health is the organised efforts of society to prevent disease, promote health and prolong life in the population. While the focus of general practice is on the care of individuals and families, general practitioners (GPs) have an essential role in promoting the health of the population.
The objectives of this article are to explore the links between public health and general practice, and to consider their implications for general practice registrar training.
Clinical general practice contributes to promoting population health. In addition, many GPs undertake work that extends beyond clinical care. The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners' (RACGP's) curriculum includes population health and the context of practice as one of its five domains. Core skills include the incorporation of a population health perspective into clinical practice, and leadership and advocacy in addressing the health needs of the community effectively and equitably.
公共卫生是社会为预防疾病、促进健康和延长人群寿命而做出的有组织的努力。虽然全科医疗的重点是照顾个人和家庭，但全科医生在促进人群健康方面发挥着至关重要的作用。
本文的目的是探讨公共卫生与全科医疗之间的联系，并思考它们对全科医疗住院医师培训的影响。
临床全科医疗有助于促进人群健康。此外，许多全科医生承担着超出临床护理范围的工作。澳大利亚皇家全科医生学院（RACGP）的课程将人群健康和执业背景作为其五个领域之一。核心技能包括将人群健康视角纳入临床实践，以及在有效且公平地满足社区健康需求方面发挥领导作用和进行倡导。
