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
