Exciting opportunities for careers in Primary Care across our region

Primary Care now offers exciting and diverse career opportunities for many health professionals.

Primary Care is the first point of contact for healthcare, for a given population. To provide patient access to a wider range of services and free up GP time, other professionals have been brought into Primary Care.

Alongside nurses and doctors, this includes pharmacists, physiotherapists, paramedics, physician associates and social prescribing link workers.

In addition to the information about the career pathways of nursing and medicine on this page,  please find details of the range of other professions increasingly working in primary care under our Professional groups page.
