First Contact Physiotherapy

First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) are highly trained physiotherapists based in GP surgeries throughout Tayside. 

If you have bone, joint or muscle pain, you can see a FCP. They have extensive experience in the assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions, such as back or neck pain, and see patients without the need for a GP appointment.

What to expect when you see your FCP

  • Your FCP will assess and diagnose you.
  • They will give you expert advice on how best to manage you condition.
  • They can refer you onto a specialist service if necessary.

How do you book an appointment to see your FCP?

Contact your GP practice and request an appointment to see the FCP. The reception team will check that you are suitable and book an appointment for you.
