  1. *A primary setting is the first point of consultation for a patient within the healthcare system, for example a general practitioner. A secondary setting involves healthcare provided by medical specialists who cannot be directly accessed by a patient, for example within a hospital outpatient clinic. A tertiary setting is specialist consultative healthcare, on referral from primary or secondary care and that has personnel and facilities for advanced investigation and treatment, for example a specialist cardiac unit.
