First Contact Physiotherapy

The First Contact Physiotherapy model (FCP) is an alternative to GP appointments for musculoskeletal problems (MSK).Instead of seeing a GP about a new muscle, joint or back problem, you will be given an appointment with a senior Physiotherapist. So your first contact will be with the physiotherapist, not the doctor. Reception staff at each practice - who are now also patient advisers - have been trained to offer patients appointments with the Physiotherapist where this is appropropriate.

Musculoskeletal (MSK) Services

This service can help by: finding out if you need to see a doctor, providing key information and advice to help with your problem, referring you to a physiotherapist or podiatrist if you need it.
