Since being introduced in 2011, family medicine reference clinics (FMRCs) have created several advantages in the treatment of patients, but have also drawn attention to areas where improvements could be made (Poplas Susič, et al., 2013). Consistent with competencies and experts, each chronic patient care protocol as well as the prevention protocol strictly follows guidelines or recommendations that define diagnostic and treatment as well as education pathways for patient care in a family medicine practice. They are harmonised and agreed with experts at different levels of healthcare (primary, secondary and tertiary) (Vodopivec Jamšek, 2013).
