primære lægeklinikker

Danish to English Medical Medical: Health Care Health Care Providers
Samtlige sygehuse er tilknyttet det lukkede bredbåndsnet, og det samme er næsten alle 280 primære lægeklinikker i regionen. I de sidste tre år har der været en nærmest eksponentiel vækst i brugen af de nye tjenester.

I am unfamiliar with health care in Denmark, and I seem to be none the wiser after googling.

The target language is British English, so would "GP practices" suffice?

primary medical practices

In Denmark, GPs work either as one-man shows, in twos or as a group of any number of GPs working together in a practice or medical centre. I imagine that one-man practices might be considered 'secondary', or maybe they are just not necessarily equipped with the same level of communications. There are great differences in how 'linked up' the different medical practices are.

primary health care centers

I think they are referring to "det primære sundhedsvæsen" (praktiserende lægekonsultationer og sundhedsklinikker) as opposed to "det sekundære sundhedsvæsen" (hospitaler). Therefore, I don't believe that GP practices would suffice. I believe you would have to get "primary" in there, as the term covers more than just GP's.
