With the Forward View requiring that primary care takes the lead on signposting patients to the most appropriate support (other than the GP they want to see), practice staff will need to learn a range of skills in holding these conversations and dealing with the challenges of patient expectation and behaviour.

Our primary care navigation & primary care signposting training is designed to specifically support primary care staff in having conversations that will encourage patients to see the most appropriate person to manage their needs.

The course can either be run as a full day or as two 2.5 hour sessions.
