Jeez! Abbreviations translation please!

I've been getting a lot of responses with abbreviations that I don't understand. I'm not from the UK.. so the terminology is different. Usually, it doesn't make a difference - but it's starting to get a little annoying when I'm trying to respond to someone and I don't totally understand what they mean! Things like GP, SIAD, CMHT and stuff.. can someone give me a quick review of commonly used abbreviations in the UK? Would appreciate it! thanks

I believe there is a thread somewhere with a list of common abbreviations - perhaps do an Advanced Search.

Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…

you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
