What is this service?
The first contact practitioner (FCP) service, run by Pure Physio through the North Lewisham PCN, allows patients contacting their GP surgeries with musculoskeletal pain to be seen quickly by a specialist musculoskeletal physiotherapist. They will be able to quickly assess, diagnose and provide information on appropriate individualised rehabilitation and management.
The FCP service is for assessment and diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions and patients who require treatment should be referred to the UHL or OHL Physiotherapy services.
