Non-urgent advice: First Contact Physiotherapist
We now offer face to face appointments with our First Contact Physiotherapists for patients experiencing musculoskeletal pains such back pains, shoulder pains and leg pains.
Patients with MSK conditions bypass the appointment with a GP, and go straight to get help with a specialist physiotherapist. Instead of the traditional method where they are seen by the GP then referred for a physio appointment which can take up to 6 weeks or more.
This makes wait and recovery times shorter, frees up GP appointments, and reduces the need for medication.
The benefits of FCPs;
– Faster access to MSK care
– Longer more in-depth appointments
– Reduced waiting times
– Reduced referrals to other NHS departments
– Higher quality of care
Please contact your surgery to book an appointment.
Non-urgent advice: Social Prescribers
We can now refer you in our social prescribing service.
Social prescribing link workers (SPLWs) are usually based in a GP surgery or work across a number of GP practices and generally work with people who fit into one of the following groups of people:
– those with one or more long-term conditions
– those who need support with their mental health
– the lonely or isolated
– those with complex social needs which affect their wellbeing.
SPLWs give people time, focusing on ‘what matters to me’ and taking a holistic approach to people’s health and wellbeing. They connect people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support. They also support existing community groups to be accessible and sustainable, and help people to start new groups, working collaboratively with all local partners.
