    General Practitioners (GPs) in Denmark either have their own medical practice or share a practice with other GPs. You can choose any GP or shared medical practice that is open to new patients.

    The Danish word for a General Practitioner is "Praktiserende læge".

    You and your child can choose a new doctor digitally on lifeindenmark.dk until the age of 15.
