About GP Navigator
What we're all about?
01
The problem
It is not always clear where to start.
People new or returning to general practice often meet unfamiliar forms through an inbox task, a scanned letter or a quick question between patients. The answer may sit in a practice folder, a local intranet, an official website or a colleague’s memory.
GP Navigator gives you a clear first step and shows where the answer needs to be checked.
