Part 4:
'How Primary Care is Evolving'

To help people understand more about Primary Care Services North Cumbria we have launched a mini series featuring short clips highlighting different elements of the project.

The clips are short, light hearted and informative to highlight key points about how primary care works in North Cumbria.

The planned 5 part series continues in part 4 with a clip focusing on how primary care is evolving and looks at some of the challenges of modern general practice in North Cumbria.

Some of the topics include: demand and expectation in the modern world, how services have had to change to meet increasing demands, wider teams of specialists, GP approved pathways, the importance of receptionists and care navigators, new technology creating more scope for support.

We hope that people continue to find this mini-series useful in helping to explain some of the key elements of our Primary Care Services North Cumbria project. The final part will take a look at Primary Care Services North Cumbria social media approach through their 'myhealthncumbria' accounts.
