What is Primary Care?
Primary Care Services mean all of the health or social care services that you can find in your community, outside of the hospital setting. A Primary Care Team (PCT) is a team of health professionals who work closely together to meet the needs of the people living in the community. They provide a single point of contact to the health system for people.
