Who Can Help You?
Our Primary Care Network (PCN) is supported by a range of healthcare professionals to ensure that you receive the best possible care. Here’s a breakdown of who can help and the services they provide:
- GP (General Practitioner): Responsible for diagnosing and managing a wide range of health conditions. GPs can prescribe medications, refer you to specialists, and manage chronic diseases.
- Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP): ANPs are highly qualified nurses who can assess, diagnose, and treat conditions. They can prescribe medications and refer patients for further investigations.
- Paramedic: Paramedics in a primary care setting can provide urgent care for minor injuries, assess acute medical conditions, and support home visits.
- Practice Nurse: Practice nurses manage routine health checks, vaccinations, and long-term condition reviews (e.g., asthma and diabetes management).
- Healthcare Assistant (HCA): HCAs assist with routine procedures like blood tests, blood pressure monitoring, and health checks.
- Pharmacist: Pharmacists manage medication reviews, provide advice on prescriptions, and help with medication-related queries.
