GP

General Practitioners (GPs) are doctors who treat common medical conditions. They play an important role in looking after patients in the community.

Your GP Practice is traditionally the first point of contact for patients accessing Primary Care.

There are a wide range of skilled and experienced services and professionals that work alongside GP Practices to complement GP care.

GP Receptionists will ask some important questions when patients contact the GP Practice. This is to ensure patients are directed to the right care at the right place.

You can find general advice on minor conditions on the NHS inform website.
