A primary care unit (PVE) is a centre where a team of professionals from various health and social care professions provide basic healthcare services to the population in a given region. Each primary care unit offers a range of services tailored to the specific needs of its region at the level of primary care. This creates new opportunities both for the local population and for professionals working in health and social care. In addition to treating acute and chronic illnesses, primary care units focus on health promotion, prevention, and psychosocial health. The team at a primary care unit coordinates care from infancy to old age. Various professional groups work in a PVE, with the core team consisting of general practitioners, Nurses with a degree in Health and Nursing Care and medical practice assistants. This core team can be expanded if needed. The number of team members in a primary care unit depends on the service offering and the needs of the region. Collaboration with external partners is also an important part of a primary care unit. These include, for example, pharmacies, specialists, social and care facilities, and the health advice hotline 1450.
