First Contact Practitioners are expert musculoskeletal (MSK) clinicians with a background in physiotherapy. We have introduced this role to reduce the workload on GPs and ensure your wait for an appointment is reduced.
They have the same ability as GPs to refer patients for further investigations, local community physiotherapy and secondary care if required.
Contact your GP Practice if you have any lower back or neck pain issues.
