message: It says that "family doctor is commonly used in the UK"
I disagree, most people in Britain call it their GP.

message: Renato Sabbatini, I'm undergoing Medical Residency in Family Practice in Ribeirão Preto, and I felt strange about the affirmation that the FP team is made of 1 to 4 medical doctors; while I'm aware that some places in Brazil have a Pediatrician in the team, at my knowledge most teams have only one medical doctor, one nurse, one to two nurse assistants, and up to 12 (usually 4-6) ACS. — User:Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle, 2006-06-14 03:26 UTC

message: aside from having an id and proof of address, what else is required to see a gp in the uk? in canada, a care card is issued and required to see a doctor.

message: According to the intro, "There has been a steady decrease in family physicians in the last few decades, due to the long work hours and little pay compared to most specialists." But surely this is wrong for the UK, where the recent GP contract gives them a pay rise and shorter working hours? Tamino 19:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I looked up "general practice" here on Wikipedia and found this article about physicians.  Rather, I was looking for an article about GP lawyers.  Am I looking in the wrong place?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.184.105 (talk) 22:20, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: A bit confused

message: The terms GP and FP mean different things when used within the United States.  However, in Australia and New Zealand for example the term GP when used here refers to someone who has completed 3-4 years of General practice (aka Family practice) post graduate specialty training.  Anyone who completes the Australian/NZ General practice training program is USA "Board Eligible" by the ABFM.  See: Reciprocity Agreement.  In Aus/NZ a "general practitioner" is 100% equivalent to a US "family practitioner".  The information regarding the different usage of the terms in different regions should be retained within this article.  Thank you Jwri7474 (talk) 05:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Could anyone pls kindly provide the info of the standard GP practice in US and UK??? 

message: The article states that it consists of "about 160" multiple choice questions, however the LHK home site mentions only 120 questions. So I'm going to change it. Furthermore, the cited page only implicitly mentions the LHK-test and so is not very relevant.

thread_title:  Dutch knowledge GP-test: Landelijke Huisartsgeneeskundige Kennistoets 

message: The passage I link to below states that "in North America the term (GP) has become somewhat ambiguous." I've noticed a general trend for well-meaning Wikipedia editors to replace instances of the "United States" or "America" with a more inclusive term "North America." But sometimes the term doesn't fit well. I was hoping for some clarification on the term's use. Where I live, Ontario (Canada's largest province) it is extremely common to refer to a family doctor as a GP. It's recently come to my attention that in the US a GP has substantially less training. The Canadian section is woefully underrepresented on here. It's got one line about a Canadian medical college. So is GP used in Canada or is it ambiguous? If it is ambiguous can we get a source on here or can I change the passage to read "In the United States." Just because something is common in the US does not mean that Canada—no matter how similar our two countries are—is going to be exact same. As the passage reads, there is a strong implication that GP does *not* mean the same as it does in other Commonwealth countries. Thanks.
"The term general practitioner or GP is common in the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom and several Commonwealth countries. In these countries the word physician is largely reserved for certain other types of medical specialists, notably in internal medicine. While in these countries, the term GP has a clearly defined meaning, in North America the term has become somewhat ambiguous, and is not necessarily synonymous with the term "family doctor" or primary care provider, as described below."
