There are many other professional roles other than Doctor or Nurse which are employed by GP surgeries and Primary Care Networks. These include, Physiotherapists, Paramedics, Care Co-ordinators, Dieticians, Coaches, Mental Health Practitioners, Podiatrists and Occupational Therapists. There has been a sharp rise in the number of Pharmacists and Pharmacy technicians who are employed in our local practices. In Tameside and Glossop we believe a more varied workforce is more resilient and can better respond to the health needs of local populations.
