The First Contact Physiotherapist (FCP)

First Contact Physiotherapists (FCP) 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.

What to expect when you see your FCP

  • Your FCP will assess and diagnose you.
  • Give you expert advice on how to best 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 reception team will check that you’re suitable and book an appointment for you.
