Musculoskeletal Care
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- * A service evaluation from April 2020 to March 2024 assessed FCP performance using key indicators like appointment usage, wait times, and patient satisfaction, finding that 86.4% of patients were treated in primary care with high satisfaction rates.
- * The results indicated that while FCP services effectively reduced GP workload, there was a rise in referrals to outpatient physiotherapy, and staff satisfaction varied due to concerns about appointment length and workload, suggesting a need for further research on service delivery models.
