You can now self-refer to your local NHS physiotherapy service



You can now self-refer to your local NHS physiotherapy service
 
We are trialling a new way for you to see a physiotherapist. If you are 16 years or older you can now self-refer to physiotherapy for:
 
·       Muscle or joint pain   
·       Sports injuries
·       Back or neck pain
·       Sprains and strains
 
It’s exactly the same NHS service, but without the need for a GP appointment first.
 
You can still see your GP to be referred. But self-referral aims to get you seen by a physiotherapist quicker, and should save your GP time.
 
Call 01689 88 77 10 to self-refer, or ask at reception
