FIRST CONTACT PHYSIOTHERAPIST

Posted on:

  • First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) are highly trained
    physiotherapists, usually based in GP surgeries.
  • FCPs have extensive experience in the assessment and management
    of musculoskeletal conditions – such as back or neck pain – and see
    these patients without the need for a GP appointment.
  • If you have bone, joint or muscle pain, you can see an FCP.

    What to expect when you see your FCP
  • Your FCP will assess and diagnose you.
  • Give you expert advice on how best to manage you condition.
  • Refer you onto a specialist service if necessary.

    How do you book an appointment to see your FCP?
  • Simply contact your GP practice and request an appointment
    to see the FCP. The reception team will check that you’re suitable
    and book an appointment for you
