First Contact Physiotherapists
Please use the drop down above to change team.
The First contact physiotherapy (FCP) service aims to alleviate pressure on GP appointments whilst allowing early access to Physiotherapy assessment and management.
First Contact Physiotherapists (FCP) will provide expert assessment, diagnosis and management of soft tissue, muscle and joint conditions. A patient can book an appointment to see an FCP without having to see their GP first.
You can book an appointment with an FCP by contacting your GP Practice Reception. Please note, this service is for those aged 18 and over.
Following an assessment, the FCP will provide self-management and exercise advice, refer on or request further investigations if needed and offer joint injections in line with evidenced based practice.
