Physiotherapy / Muscle and joint problems
Most muscle and joint problems get better themselves. For advice and self management click here.
If you feel you need to see a physiotherapist we now have appointments in the Surgery.
Our physiotherapist can be booked directly through the Practice appointments system. She will assess patients without the need for you to see a Doctor first.
The Physiotherapist can assess, diagnose and treat patients with musculoskeletal conditions. The Physiotherapist can refer you for further investigations such as blood tests, x-ray, MRI or ultrasound scans if required.

Community Link Worker
What are Community Link Workers?
Community Link Workers are practitioners who work within GP practices providing non-medical support with personal, social, emotional and financial issues. These include low mood, anxiety and stress, social isolation, money and poverty issues, and bereavement.
Community Link Workers are now one of the core services available through GP practices in Scotland. They help reduce demand on primary care and divert people to the right sources of support within the community. They also work to address health inequalities created by deprivation, protected characteristics, geography and demographics.
If you would like an appointment with our Community Link Worker please ask the GP/Nurse to refer you.
