“…A shift was observed in patients' reluctance in consulting with their Primary Care provider, in particular in those with long-term healthcare conditions.

“…More recently, toward the current phase of the pandemic, there has been a shift in patient contact with their Primary Care physician, resulting in a rise in the number of patients consulting Primary Care practitioners, many of whom had not been followed up as usual during the peak of the pandemic, which has led to worsening of their condition. Disconcertingly, there has also been a rise in patients who present with a new diagnosis of long-term health conditions, which were potentially preventable if these patients had been reviewed and managed by a Primary Care practitioner earlier [27,28].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic had a severe impact on various aspects of everyday life, including healthcare provision. The aim of the scoping review was to collate, summarize, and discuss this literature, in light of the impact COVID-19 had on Primary care. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) four-stage process framework for reporting was followed. A total of 31 studies were included in this review. Based upon our review we found COVID-19 pandemic on Primary Care, has made significant effects on 1) service redesign, 2) long-term illness care provision, 3) healthcare staff well-being and 4) the post-pandemic future of Primary Care. The COVID-19 outbreak has demonstrated, how a pandemic can drastically change the process of healthcare provision within the community, as evidenced by the change in consultation styles with patients, the impact on the physical and mental wellbeing of health workers, a shift from isolated practice to teamwork, as well as the ability of healthcare workers to seek prompt help with their health. Studies have demonstrated progress in knowledge and experience gained by healthcare workers when tackling COVID-19, and how these can be implemented in possible future pandemics affecting Primary Care, however, further research is required within this sphere.
