GPs General Practitioners
What is a GP?
Your GP (general practitioner or family doctor) is usually the first person you go to if you have a health issue. They can coordinate your health care and look after you through your whole life.
GPs are doctors who have completed training in general practice. In some countries this is known as family medicine.
GPs complete 10-15 years of medical education before they can work independently as GPs. This includes a medical degree, internship and specialist training in the hospital and community.
GPs have a holistic approach with broad knowledge and skills.
GPs work within the community to ensure your health and wellbeing. They can manage all physical and mental health issues you may have throughout your life. GPs will consider your social, cultural and environmental backgrounds to give you care that is suitable for you. Therefore, GPs can treat anyone regardless of age, sexuality, cultural background or state of health.
