Did you know we offer First Contact Physiotherapy appointments at AMG – with NO GP referral needed?

First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) are highly trained physiotherapists, usually based in GP surgeries.

You will be asked to explain your problem and the clinician will aim to provide detailed assessment, leading to diagnosis and an outline of the available options thereafter. If necessary the clinician can request exactly the same investigations as your GP could, and can make exactly the same specialist referrals, and in some cases could deliver interventions such as joint injections.

📅 Arrange an appointment by:
🖥 Completing an eConsult form via our website
📞 Calling reception on 01665 656000

We’re really keen to improve continuity of care between our clinicians and patients.

We know this can sometimes be quite difficult, particularly as our doctors work across different locations and are often the 'duty' doctor .

However if you can help us by giving the name of the GP or Nurse Practitioner you’ve seen before when you contact the surgery or when completing an eConsult, we’ll do our very best to provide continuity of care where we can.

Thank you.

Important Phone Message for Patients‼️📞

When calling the Practice, please make sure you select the correct option from the telephone menu so your call reaches the right team.

Choosing a different option in the hope of avoiding the queue will not result in your call being answered more quickly. It may actually delay your enquiry, as you will need to be redirected, and it takes valuable time away from both our staff and other patients who are waiting to be helped.

By selecting the correct option, you help us deal with your request as efficiently as possible and support our team in managing calls fairly for everyone.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Team AMG🧡
