Primary care ensures that the NHS provides appropriate care and helps people improve their health and well being.

General practice will have a critical role as part of primary care. The practice will act as navigator and coordinator of the care patients receive。 it will focus on health and healthcare。 and it will work in partnership with patients to ensure they are involved in determining how care is delivered for themselves and their munities.
