Get the Right Care First Time
General Practice is facing unprecedented pressure. Demand is exceeding capacity and patients are facing longer delays as a result.
Our new campaign is designed to help reduce the burden on GPs by explaining why you don’t always need to see the doctor.
GP surgeries frequently now have teams of exceptionally skilled, qualified healthcare professionals who have the experience and competency to treat many of the patients who traditionally believe they need to see the GP.
Utilising the experience of the full primary care team ensures your GP is able to see the patients who need their expertise more quickly, reducing the demand on their time and getting you to the #RightCareFirstTime
- Repeat medication queries can be managed most effectively by the inhouse Pharmacy team
- Sprains, sports injuries and muscle pains are best treated by a Physiotherapist
- Pregnancy tests or the morning-after-pill can be accessed via a community Pharmacy
- Earache and sinuses can be managed by an Advanced Nurse Practitioner or community Pharmacy
- Your child has an ongoing high fever that is not responding to medication, or you have a lump in your breast; your GP wants to see you
