How your General Practice team can help you

Boosting awareness of the multi-disciplinary team within Primary Care
As part of NHS England’s communications campaign to raise awareness of the multi-disciplinary team working in primary care, a new animated film has been developed to explain the additional roles for multicultural audiences. 
 
The animation has been translated into multiple languages (Hindi, Panjabi, Gujarati, Bengali, Polish, Romanian and Somali) to reach those who have low proficiency English and/or literacy levels and uses simple, straightforward language. 
 

These films explain the range of health professionals who work together within your local General Practice, to help you get the right care when you need it. In addition to GPs, General Practice teams can include nurses, physiotherapists, clinical pharmacists, mental health practitioners, paramedics, social prescribing link workers, and health and wellbeing coaches. The Reception Team is trained to discuss your medical concern thoroughly and confidentially, so you can be seen by the right health professional for your situation. If you need to see a GP you will always be offered an appointment, but there may be other health professionals who can provide the most appropriate support.
