Adult mental Health Practitioners

Their focus is on supporting GPs in their management of patients during the day-to-day activities. The administrative burden is high for GPs and GP assistants aim to reduce this so that they can make the best use of time, and specifically the appointment with a patient. This not only helps the GP but also improves the experience for the patient.

​

A General practice assistant will support with:-

• administrative help such as completing forms for GPs to sign

• explaining procedures to patients

• clinical support such as arranging follow-up appointments
