• First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) are highly trained
  physiotherapists, usually based in GP surgeries.
• FCPs have extensive experience in the assessment and management
  of musculoskeletal conditions – such as back or neck pain - and see
  these patients without the need for a GP appointment.
• If you have bone, joint or muscle pain, you can see an FCP.

What to expect when you see your FCP

• Your FCP will assess and diagnose you.
• Give you expert advice on how best to manage your condition.
• Refer you onto a specialist service if necessary.

How do you book an appointment to see your FCP?

• Simply contact your GP practice and request an appointment
  to see the FCP. The admin team will ask a number of questions to check that you are suitable
  then book an appointment for you.
