What Is The Role Of A GP?
Compensation claims against GPs should never have to be made. However, if your GP has provided you with sub-standard care, a medical negligence claim is sometimes the only way you can obtain justice.
A GP (or general practitioner) will treat most medical conditions. They play a central role in referring patients to specialist hospitals to make sure they get the correct treatment.
