Collaborations with GPs

The Primary Care Office works closely with primary care partners to co-create and implement various enablers and programmes that provide transitional care and support for patients and residents in the community.

The GPFirst programme encourages people with mild to moderate medical conditions to visit their General Practitioners (GPs) first, rather than going directly to the Emergency Department (ED).

Going to the GP first allows your patients to receive timely medical treatment for their condition and enables EDs to focus on more urgent cases requiring medical attention.
