A general medicine practitioner, commonly referred to as a GP, is a medical doctor who specialises in many diseases affecting the body and whose primary treatment does not involve surgery.
General practitioners are trained to provide care for patients across age groups. This includes treatment for adults, adolescents, and children. Some general medicine practitioners become family doctors, treating patients of all ages and genders.
A GP will provide treatment for acute non-life-threatening diseases, early detection and referral to a specialised doctor for patients with serious diseases, and preventive care, including health education and immunization. They are highly knowledgeable of all types of branches of medicine but are unlikely to conduct surgeries or complex medical procedures, but they would be involved in the post-surgical recovery and rehabilitation of the patient.
