MSK First Contact Practitioner (FCP) Pilot
We now have a service available to our patients that specialises in musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions first time without having to see a GP. They will assess, diagnose & provide expert advice and assistance in how to best manage your condition.
The clinicians can request relevant investigations, carry out injections and refer on to specialist services where appropriate.
Many of these clinicians are non-medical prescribers and are able to prescribe and advise on many relevant medications to help manage your condition.
Any patients wishing to utilise this service or find out more information should contact reception at the practice.
