GP - General Practitioner lub Family Doctor


Explanation:
W Anglii, gdzie mieszkam, doktor prowadzacy to po prostu GP. Mowimy: moj GP skierowal mnie do specjalisty, itp. To jest najpopularniejsze okreslenie, niektorzy okreslaja takiego lekarza jako Family Doctor.

primary care doctor OR General Practitioner (GP)

Sometimes, a primary health care provider is also used.

He/She is a doctor of your primary health care needs and can refer you to other medical specialists should that be necessary.
