A Clinical Pharmacist is another qualified member of a GP surgery team.

You’ll be referred to a Clinical Pharmacist so they can decide which medicines will work best for you – or check the ones you already take – especially if you have a long-term condition or several conditions.

Here at our practice, we have a Clinical Pharmacist plus other healthcare professionals with expert skills and knowledge who work alongside your GP. Being referred to one of our healthcare professionals means you’ll still be treated by someone with the right skills and knowledge for your problem or condition. It will always be your choice but means you may not need to wait to see your GP and may be seen sooner!

A First Contact Physiotherapist is another qualified member of a GP surgery team.

They are experienced physiotherapists with specialist training.

If you have a muscle or joint problem, you’ll be referred to a First Contact Physiotherapist first! They will provide an initial assessment and diagnosis and then agree with you the best course of action with you to help get you better!

That could be prescribing medication, exercises or referral for an X ray or specific treatment if needed.

Here at our practice, we have a First Contact Physiotherapist plus other healthcare professionals with expert skills and knowledge who work alongside your GP. Being referred to one of our healthcare professionals means you’ll still be treated by someone with the right skills and knowledge for your problem or condition. It will always be your choice but means you may not need to wait to see your GP and may be seen sooner!
