Our care navigators may ask for a brief outline of your problem when you ring to book an appointment to help them identify the most appropriate place for your care.  This is because we have introduced something called Care Navigation

Care navigators will never offer clinical advice or triage; this new way of working is about offering you the choice to see more appropriate professionals in the practice team or even somewhere else.

If they can deal with the problem directly, it will often be quicker and means you may not need to see the GP at all.
