| Patients will be able to speak directly to a GP |
A Teeside pilot project will mean patients can speak directly to GPs rather than receptionists when they call to book an appointment has launched.
The Doctor First system will mean every patient from participating practices who phones their GP surgery can speak to a doctor on the day they call.
The GP can then decide whether an appointment or visit to the surgery is necessary based on clinical need.
The pilot will run in participating practices across Teesside, starting with the Endeavour Practice in Middlesbrough and Zetland Medical Practice in Marske from Monday.
