First Contact Practitioner
(FCP) Services
At Willaston Physiotherapy and Sports Rehab, our First Contact Practitioners play a vital role in Primary Care, working alongside General Practitioners (GPs) to assist patients with musculoskeletal (MSK) complaints, ensuring timely access to appropriate care.
Assessment and Diagnosis
FCPs are trained to assess and diagnose a wide range of MSK conditions, providing patients with timely and accurate diagnoses.
Early Intervention and Advice
FCPs offer early intervention and expert advice to patients, helping them manage their MSK complaints effectively and prevent further complications.
Referral to Specialist Services
When necessary, FCPs can refer patients to specialist services at the earliest opportunity, ensuring timely access to advanced care and treatment.
Benefits for GPs
Reduced Workload:
By assisting with MSK assessments and management, FCPs help GPs free up appointment slots and focus on other core areas within general practice.
Reduced Investigations and Prescriptions:
FCPs help lower the number of unnecessary investigations and prescriptions, promoting cost-effective and evidence-based care.
Reduced Referrals:
FCPs can also reduce the number of patients being referred onward to other services by providing comprehensive care and management for MSK complaints.
