NHS care navigators are trained staff who help patients get to the most appropriate NHS service for their needs, which may not always be a GP. They act as the first point of contact, ask a few questions about a health query, and use their knowledge of the practice and local services to direct patients to the right person, such as a pharmacist, nurse, or other specialist. This helps ensure patients get the right care at the right time and frees up GP appointments for those who need them most.
