> [!waypoints] [[General Information]] # GP = General Practitioner Published: 5 May 2025 ## For non-Australians "GP" is used throughout this website as an abbreviation of "General Practitioner". This type of doctor is also known as a family doctor or primary care physician. ## For Australians GPs can offer telehealth consultations for some patients who can't physically get to their medical practice. Check with yours to find out whether or not your consultation can be done over the phone or by video call. Sadly, not all GPs have capacity to offer Long COVID support (some aren't even aware that the condition exists🤯). You might have to call around to find one. Your state or territory's health services might be able to refer you to one.
