Extended Healthcare Team

Many GP practices now include a range of health professionals who can diagnose and treat health conditions. This ensures that you see the right person at the right time.

If it is most appropriate for you to see a doctor, you will be offered an appointment with a GP. However, the GP isn’t always the best person for you to see.
