First contact physiotherapy

We work together sharing a variety of Clinicians offering clinics both on Saturdays and evenings. Travel clinics, child wellbeing clinics, womens health and our newest team member is a first contact physio.

What is first contact physiotherapy (FCP)?

  • Alternative to the GP.
  • First choice for patients with musculoskeletal pain (muscles and joints).
  • Aim to provide early access to specialist knowledge and assessment.
  • Majority of aches and pains resolve with the right advice.
  • Usually one appointment.
  • It is NOT a course of Physiotherapy.
  • Open to any patient registered with Practice, who meet the criteria.
  • FCP should be the first choice for patients requesting appointments for MSK pain.
  • They do not need to speak to a Doctor first.
  • Patient calls up their registered surgery reception team for an appointment.
  • Straight from booking or triage Apps (with set criteria).
  • Appointments may be mixture of telephone and face to face depending on request.

Please contact the reception team 01608 650317 option 1 to discuss any of these clinics on offer.
