Within primary care, clinical support staff that work with together with Doctors, Nurses and Allied Health Professionals are a valuable part of the delivery of high-quality care for patients.
Whilst being rewarding and skill-developing positions in their own right, clinical support roles also offer an entry route into other healthcare roles (such as nursing, pharmacy or assistant practitioner jobs). The career paths these kinds of role offer can be a viable option for those displaying commitment and eagerness to learn and progress but that may not have specific academic qualifications.
Many clinical support roles are very ‘hands-on’, involving constant contact with patients and so workers in these kinds of position are integral to the well-being of anyone visiting their GP practice when they are unwell.
