Care Navigation is a tried and tested model of care that improves access to primary care services for patients and reduces GP pressures all in one. It allows front line staff to provide patients with more information about local health and wellbeing services, both within and outside of primary care, in a safe, effective way. It is about offering patients choice and help to access the most appropriate service first, which is not always the GP. It means that patients will find it easier to get a GP appointment when they need one.
Signposting allows you to receive the right care, from the right person, when you need it. You can refer yourself to any of these services at any time.
