General Practitioners (GPs) are located in the local community (surgeries
or practices). They are often your first point of contact when you
have a concern about your child’s development or health. Some
of them have special experience in paediatrics. Their role is to keep
their patients healthy, to pick up and treat illnesses and to refer
to specialists as and when necessary.
 Tip
Remember, it is important for you to feel confident in your GP. As always, personalities have a lot to do with how comfortable you feel with your GP, so don’t be afraid to change if necessary. Ask around for advice particularly from other parents who have a child with a disability. |
