Abstract: Background: Since 2002, healthcare professionals have worked in primary care in the United Kingdom (UK), a transition that is also reflected in Australia, Canada and the United States. To understand how healthcare workers impact (or don't) on primary care workers, we conducted a case study. 

The documents include from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and the Americas, countries where the  role of healthcare professionals in primary care is well established.

Our findings highlight that health care workers are more likely to contribute effectively to the primary care workforce when they are supported to expand their current roles through formal education and clinical surveillance. We have also found that unless healthcare professionals are fully integrated into primary care services, they do not have the socialization necessary to build a relationship of trust with patients or physicians. doctor. Indeed, for patients to accept primary care health workers, their role and its implications for their care must be described by a reliable source. 

Conclusion: Our field review highlights the complexities surrounding the inclusion of health care workers in primary care roles.

In addition to providing insight into understanding the professional identity of healthcare professionals, we also discuss the range of expectations this professional group will face when transitioning to primary care.

This review is the first to provide insight into the impact health workers can have on the international primary health care workforce and how they can be deployed effectively. optimal way.
