Care Navigation Pathfields is a Medical Group covering multiple sites across Plymouth. This gives our patients choice: choice over where they visit and who they see. As a Practice we have come to understand that an appointment is not always necessary and actually may lead to delays in treatment. Often patients may be able to self-care or direct themselves to the most appropriate healthcare professional. We hope that this leaflet will help to empower our patients to be able to do this effectively. Dental abscess Gum problems Toothache Do you need a nurse?
