You can now see a Specialist Physiotherapist at the GP Surgery without seeing your GP first.
We have a resident First Contact Physiotherapist called Nic who attends Ifield Medical Practice every Wednesday. A first contact practitioner (FCP) is an experienced physiotherapist who has the advanced skills necessary to assess, diagnose and recommend appropriate treatment or referral for musculoskeletal (MSK) problems on a patient’s first contact with healthcare services e.g. when they visit their GP surgery.
If you need to see someone about:
- Neck and back pain, sciatica
- Shoulder pain, dislocation
- Elbow pain, tennis elbow
- Hand & wrist pain, carpal tunnel syndrome
- Hip and groin pain, pain on walking
- Knee pain, pain on walking
- Foot and ankle pain, ligament sprains, achilles tendon pain
Please contact the Surgery and ask for a physio appointment with Nic.
