We have an in-house “first contact” physiotherapy team. Their role is to review patients with musculoskeletal problems without the need for you to see a GP first. This includes common issues such as back, hip, knee and neck pain. The physiotherapy team are able to:
- Examine you face to face
- Organise imaging such as x-rays
- Suggest blood tests
- Refer you to the hospital for an orthopaedic assessment if needed
When you request an appointment via Patchs, you may be triaged to a first contact physiotherapy appointment.
