What is primary care?
Primary care services provide the first point of contact in the healthcare system, acting as the ‘front door’ of the NHS. Primary care includes general practice, community pharmacy, dentistry, and optometry (eye health) services.
Primary care professionals, such as GPs, practice nurses or pharmacists, help take care of the basics of care, focusing on preventing illness, making diagnoses and treating conditions that don’t need hospital care.
As we have built our devolved health and social care system in Greater Manchester, primary care is now increasingly viewed as a core component of an integrated, community based, care system rather than a separate stand-alone entity. Read more ».
