GP (General Practitioner)

A General Practitioner (GP) is a doctor who provides primary healthcare services for a wide range of medical issues. They are often the first point of contact for patients and manage overall health, including diagnosing illnesses, prescribing treatments, and offering preventive care such as vaccinations and screenings. GPs build ongoing relationships with patients, understanding their health history and lifestyle, which helps in early detection and management of health concerns. They also refer patients to specialists if specialized care is needed. Essentially, GPs serve as the central coordinator for a person's general health and well-being.
