Signposting
Unlike in the past when the GP practice was your first port of call for minor medical problems, community healthcare is now delivered by a wide range of health professionals working at different sites across the local area. We have therefore put together a signposting document for you to refer to so that you can easily identify and access the service you need without any unnecessary delay.
Signposting allows us to free up GP and Advanced Nurse Practitioner appointments so that they can be utilised by those patients who have a problem that can only be managed by a GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner.
