Primary Care Mental health Nurse
We now have a Primary Care Mental Health Nurse working with the practice 2 days a week. You will be offered an appointment with our mental health nurse in the first instance if you need to see a clinician regarding your mental health.
Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner
A GP Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner (APP) now works within your GP practice. If you have, or think you have, a musculoskeletal (MSK) problem they provide an alternative to seeing your GP.
They provide expert assessment of all MSK conditions eg muscle, bone and joint problems such as back, neck, shoulder or knee pain. They can provide you with a clinical diagnosis, give you advice on how to manage the problem and suggest appropriate exercise for you to work on independently.
With your agreement and when appropriate, they can refer you to specialist services such as physiotherapy for supported rehab, x-ray or orthopaedics. If needed, they can liaise with your GP to arrange medication or discuss any non-MSK symptoms which may have been found during your consultation.
You can request an appointment with the GP APP directly and you may also be directed to them by reception staff, who have had training to help them guide you to the GP APP. Your GP may also ask you to see the GP APP for an expert MSK opinion.
