Swedish term
ordinarie läkare
Swedish to English
Medical
No context really. Just a heading on some patient notes followed by a name. But it does say that this doctor works at the VC (Vårdcentral)
I suppose this might be a GP, but am not sure.
Thank you for your help

According to Collins, a doctor is \'a person licensed to practise medicine\'. And this applies to the UK among other places.

The patient\'s \'ordinarie läkare\' is not necessarily a GP, he could well be a specialist of some kind.

: A GP as I understand it is a position. "Ordinarie läkare" is the doctor the patient usually consults, or a/the doctor who is permanently employed at the vårdcentral (i.e. not a temping doctor - common in sweden today).
