First Contact Physiotherapy
The FCP service offers registered patients across North West Surrey the opportunity to book an appointment with a specialist physiotherapist, before seeing a GP, on weekdays at a number of locations across NW Surrey.
What Is FCP?
First Contact Physiotherapy allows you to see a licensed Physiotherapist without being referred to a hospital by a GP. All appointments are booked through your GP practice.
If you have pain and dysfunction associated with your back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee or ankle you will benefit from an assessment with the FCP Physiotherapist.
The FCP Physiotherapist will carry out a detailed examination of your condition and provide information on how you can manage this. Where a referral into other services is required the FCP Physiotherapist can arrange this.
