Physiotherapy
A physiotherapy service is available at the practice on Mondays and Fridays, provided by a physiotherapist from St George’s Hospital. If you think physiotherapy might be beneficial, schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss your symptoms. Your doctor will guide you on how to access the service. Depending on availability, you may be seen either at the surgery or at St George’s Hospital if there is a long waiting list at the surgery.
The practice also offers an in-house First Contact Practitioner (FCP), a skilled physiotherapist who can assess, diagnose, and manage musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions such as lower back pain, ankle sprains, or frozen shoulder. The FCP service allows patients with MSK issues to self-refer directly to a specialist, without needing to visit their GP first. Conditions such as back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, and general joint discomfort can now be addressed by the FCP.

Pharmacy First
In order to support our GP services, the NHS has started a new initiative called ‘Pharmacy First. There are a number of minor illnesses that our clinicians can now refer patients directly to pharmacists for, who will be able to support in organising the necessary medication. Patients can also contact your pharmacy directly if they think they might have any of the suggested concerns mentioned here and are within the recommended age range.
If you are unsure whether to contact your surgery or pharmacy then please fill out an online request form here. One of our clinicians can then review your submission and point you in the right direction. For the full information please see our Pharmacy First page.
