Team members you may have contact with

First Contact Physiotherapist

These are experienced physiotherapists who diagnose and manage conditions affecting your joints and muscles. There is a common misunderstanding that they provide ongoing courses of physiotherapy but as their role title suggests they are instead a great first point of contact to help you understand what is causing your symptoms and to discuss and arrange the best treatment options for you. They can arrange investigations and referrals for adults as a GP would and can organise painkillers if required also.

Advanced Clinical Practitioner

These are independent practitioners that, as the name suggests, assess your medical needs to an advanced level. They can provide you with prescriptions and arrange investigations or referrals for you as a GP would, dealing with the huge range of medical issues that you as patients may be struggling with.

Social Prescriber

Social prescribers are there to help explore with you what support you may benefit from to complement your medical treatment. Their skills and knowledge is wide ranging and depending on who you see they may support you in understanding what financial support is available to you and helping you with claiming this, finding and arranging local services that you would benefit from seeing and also ensure that you continue to improve and maintain your wellbeing.

If you think you may benefit from their expertise do mention it to any member of the team when you next speak to them or use our online system eConsult to let us know how we can help you.
