6. Care Navigation
Ringing your GP practice for an appointment to see the GP can sometimes seem a ‘lottery’. Care navigators will guide patients to health care options.
Trained frontline staff will ask what the problem is.  This isn’t to be nosy but it’s so they can help you get to the right health professional for your needs.
They have a multitude of information and knowledge about services outside of the GP practice that can help too if you need that.
Receptionists are receiving training to enhance their ability to connect patients directly with the most appropriate source of help.
