Careers in primary care

As the ‘front door’ of the NHS, primary care systems have the important role of looking after the initial healthcare of a community. This requires many different people with different skills and responsibilities to come together. General practice is delivering more than a million appointments every day, and half a million more every week, since before the pandemic in 2020. This has been possible because the general practice workforce has grown by 27% since 2019.

There are obviously many clinical roles but there are also a variety of non-clinical positions which are essential to the successful running of a service. The primary care roles include practice management, digital & transformation lead, podiatrist, nursing associate and many more.
