English term or phrase: GP/FP/PCP

G'day everyone

As far as I can tell, these three abbreviations stand for:

general practitioner
familiy practitioner
primary care physician

1. Please can you confirm that.

2. Are these three distinct types of doctors, or are they just three synonymns for roughly the same thing? In other words, if you found these three abbreviations in a text, would you translate it as three concepts or as one concept?

Thanks
