GP Pathways
Smarter care navigation.
Clinically validated.
Fairer access for all.
Problem Statement
Introducing GP Pathways
A clinical care navigation tool designed to help general practice teams guide patients to the most appropriate service—quickly, safely, and fairly.
NHS Clinical Logic
Uses NHS England-approved clinical pathways to validate eligibility for Pharmacy First and Minor Ailments services
Safeguarding Reception Staff
Supports non-clinical staff in confidently navigating care decisions
Pharmacy First
Reduces bounce-backs to the GP by verifying inclusion/exclusion criteria at the point of contact
Access Equity
Improves access equity by removing personal bias or guesswork in referrals and decision-making

Enables better use of the wider care ecosystem—from First Contact Physio to Mental Health Practitioners
Voluntary, Community & Social Enterprise organisations
Connects patients with care coordinators and community services efficiently

Our Mission
We believe a patient's journey shouldn't be shaped by who answers the phone or who they see at the front desk, or by what the patient tells the staff member. By embedding clear clinical logic, GP Pathways supports a fairer, more consistent navigation experience—especially for those who face barriers due to language, literacy, or background.
Ready to Scale
Already tested amongst 34k patients within West Yorkshire - GP Pathways is ready to deploy across practices, PCNs, and systems.
