Non-urgent advice: First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs)

This service is provided by a registered health professional who is the first point of contact for patients, providing new expertise and increased capacity to general practice and providing patients with faster access to the right care.

They are qualified autonomous clinical practitioners (often Advanced MSK Physiotherapists) who are able to assess, diagnose, treat and discharge a person without a medical referral – where appropriate.
