HealthPathways helps GPs make informed decisions during consultations
23 Sep 2026
HealthPathways is an online clinical guidance and local services tool that supports primary care clinicians during patient consultations.
- Simple and easy to navigate
HealthPathways presents key information in a clear format that is quick to scan. Clinicians can select links for more detailed guidance when needed.
The platform also helps users find referral information, specialist contacts, forms and patient resources.
- Developed with health professionals
The content is developed with input from GPs, hospital clinicians and other health professionals. The guidance is evidence-informed, considers local services and is regularly reviewed.
- Supports consistent care
HealthPathways provides agreed guidance for healthcare professionals across the region. This can help reduce differences in care and support the use of evidence in everyday practice.
It also helps healthcare professionals understand the care pathway when a patient needs support from other services.
- Provides patient information
HealthPathways is supported by the Health Resource Directory, a patient-focused website with information about health conditions and procedures.
The factsheets explain what patients can expect, steps they can take to manage their health and where they can find further support. The information is based on clinical guidance used by GPs and is reviewed by local community members and GPs.
- Makes referral information easier to find
HealthPathways provides details about recommended public and private referral services. Clinicians can access contact details, addresses, business hours and links to current referral forms.
