    Correct Answer
    A. They are very busy, so all their appointment times get full.
    Explanation
    One reason why you often have to wait to see a GP is because they are very busy and all their appointment times get full. This means that there is a high demand for their services, leading to limited availability for appointments. As a result, patients may have to wait for a certain period of time before they can secure an appointment with their GP.

    GPs not only focus on treating illnesses but also provide advice on preventive measures to avoid becoming ill.

By educating patients about preventive measures, GPs play a crucial role in promoting overall wellbeing and reducing the burden on healthcare systems.

    Correct Answer
    A. An old person.
    Explanation
    An old person is more likely to be visited by a GP in their own home because they may have difficulty traveling to a medical facility due to mobility issues or chronic health conditions. Additionally, older individuals may require more frequent medical attention and monitoring, making home visits a convenient option for them.

    Where do GP normally work?

    • In a hospital

    • In a school

    • In a surgery

    • In a mobile vehicle

    Correct Answer
    A. In a surgery
    Explanation
    GPs normally work in a surgery. This is because a surgery is a primary healthcare facility where doctors provide general medical care to patients. It is a central location where patients can visit for routine check-ups, consultations, and treatment of common illnesses. GPs in a surgery have access to medical equipment, diagnostic tools, and support staff, allowing them to provide comprehensive care to their patients. Working in a surgery also enables GPs to collaborate with other healthcare professionals and refer patients to specialists if needed.
