G.P.

Primary care doctor

G.P. is an abbreviation for general practitioner—a physician who treats a wide range of conditions rather than specializing in one area of medicine.

In British usage especially, the G.P. is the primary care doctor patients see first: I made an appointment with my G.P. about the rash.

The abbreviation also stands for Grand Prix in racing contexts.
