General practitioner consultation room

General practitioner

Your first stop for everyday health questions, regular check-ups, and ongoing care with a GP in the OpenMedical network.

A doctor who knows you and has time to listen

A visit with your GP is not over in a few rushed minutes. They listen to the full picture, not just one symptom, and agree with you on the next step that makes sense for your situation.

Over time your GP builds a shared view of your health, knows your history, your medications, and what you came in with last time, so each visit can move faster from questions to clear advice.

When a specialist is needed, your GP sends them your full record and your coordinator adds their findings back to your file afterwards. Your care stays in one place even when more than one doctor is involved.

Check-ups and prevention

Regular visits help catch problems early and keep your health on track.

  • Registration with a partner GP accepting new patients, with an entry check-up
  • Regular preventive check-ups for adults
  • Vaccinations, including flu and tick-borne encephalitis
  • Ongoing health monitoring for long-term conditions

Examinations and certificates

Your GP also issues the paperwork and assessments you need for daily life.

  • Pre-operative examinations before planned procedures
  • Examinations on request, such as for an employer or a driving licence
  • Extracts from your medical records when you need to share them
  • Clear advice on the next step when a specialist is needed

Diagnosis, treatment, and quick admin

When you are not feeling well, your GP keeps the visit simple and useful.

  • Diagnosis and treatment of common acute illnesses
  • Ongoing care for everyday chronic conditions
  • Blood draws and laboratory tests handled directly at the clinic
  • E-prescriptions and electronic sick notes issued during your visit

General practitioner questions

Short answers about GP visits, referrals, prevention, and booking through OpenMedical.

When should I see a GP?+

See a GP when you have a new health concern, an everyday illness, a prescription question, a preventive check-up, or a long-term condition that needs monitoring. If symptoms are severe, sudden, or rapidly worsening, use urgent or emergency care instead.

Can a GP issue a referral to a specialist?+

Yes. A GP can issue a referral when specialist care is medically appropriate. The referral usually explains the reason for the visit, relevant history, and any results the specialist should review.

How does a preventive check-up with a GP work?+

A preventive GP check-up usually includes a review of your health history, current risks, medication, a basic examination, and tests that fit your age and situation. The GP then explains whether any follow-up or specialist review is needed.

Can a GP order blood tests?+

Yes. A GP can order blood tests when they are medically appropriate after reviewing your symptoms, health history, medication, and examination findings. The doctor decides which tests are useful for the question being checked.

Can OpenMedical help me register with a GP in Prague?+

Yes. OpenMedical can help you check the available GP route in Prague, coordinate the registration or first appointment when a partner clinic can accept it, and make sure the next step is clear.
