Healthcare professionals
Many professionals are trained to help people
stay healthy and to treat health problems. 
Primary care is provided by the doctors (also 
known as 
physicians) or nurses who the patient 
goes to first when they have a problem. This may 
happen at the doctor’s surgery or, sometimes, 
during a 
home visit. A locum is a doctor who does 
the job of another doctor who is ill or on holiday.
Most medical care, whether it is for an 
acute 
condition

 or a chronic condition, is provided 
through the primary care system.
