Doctor (Physician)

Doctors, also known as physicians, diagnose and treat illnesses, provide medical advice, and support patients in maintaining their health. In the UK, doctors work in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, GP surgeries, and clinics, and may choose to specialise in areas like surgery, paediatrics, or psychiatry. A doctor's role involves examining patients, ordering and interpreting tests, prescribing medication, and working with other healthcare professionals to provide the best possible care. Becoming a doctor requires a medical degree, followed by years of training and specialisation. Many UK doctors work for the NHS, but there are also opportunities in private practice.
