The General Practitioner (GP) training

GP training is a comprehensive process that prepares doctors to become primary care physicians. After medical school, doctors enter a residency program, typically lasting three years, focused on general medicine, preventive care, and managing a wide range of health issues. They gain practical experience through rotations in clinics, hospitals, and community settings under supervision. The training emphasizes patient communication, diagnoses, treatment plans, and continuous care. Upon completing residency, they may pursue further qualifications or specializations. This process ensures GPs are well-equipped to provide holistic, accessible healthcare, addressing both acute conditions and ongoing health needs of individuals and communities.
