FCP’S are specialist physiotherapists who are based in the GP practice and who treat patients who come into the clinic with musculoskeletal problems.
Patients with MSK conditions bypass the appointment with a GP and go straight to get help with a specialist physiotherapist. Instead of the traditional method where they are seen by the GP then referred for a physio appointment which can take up to 6 weeks or more.
This makes wait and recovery times shorter, frees up GP appointments, and reduces the need for medication.
To make an appointment with the FCP please contact a member of our Care Navigation team.
