The GP Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner (GPAPP) is embedded in the medical practice to offer patients and GPs a specialist service for the Assessment and Treatment of Musculoskeletal conditions for those aged over 16. We see acute and chronic conditions related to muscles, joints and the nervous system, with a view to early diagnosis, advice and onward referral as appropriate. The aim is to be able to see patients in a much shorter timeframe than a normal physiotherapy referral route, to assess and intervene early, thus providing much needed early access for patient. Appointments can be booked via our Reception team, there is no need to see the GP first.
