Virtual First Contact Physiotherapy
Previously we had been undertaking all First Contact Physiotherapy (FCP) as face to face appointments, and the service was suspended at the beginning of the covid pandemic. However patients were still presenting to GP practices with MSK conditions, therefore we have started utilising virtual appointments via telephone and attend anywhere to provide the service. The current situation has helped to promote the self management messages, and uptake of self management resources available.
What is needed to sustain the change?
"Virtual" first approach as an option for patients, increases accessibility for those who are working, carers etc.
Public health promotion messages surrounding appropriate self management, and benefits of rehabilitation over therapy dependence.
