General Practitioners

General practitioners (GPs) treat all common medical conditions and refer patients to hospitals and other medical services for urgent and specialist treatment. They focus on the health of the whole person combining physical, psychological and social aspects of care. Our GPs are highly trained doctors who deal with medical problems where you may feel acutely ill.
