GP Partners

A GP partner is a self-employed general practitioner who, alongside other GPs, and sometimes also nurses or other healthcare staff, is responsible for running their own practice. Besides providing services and managing patients, GP partners also manage administrative work associated with running the practice. Unlike salaried GPs or GP locums, GP partners are not only healthcare professionals but also business owners.
