Our aims
The Musculoskeletal Service aims to prevent the need for hospital treatment. We do this by placing MSK experts in the community. We assess and treat your condition or direct you to the right service. If we direct you to another service, we make sure all the tests you need are completed before you are seen.
Our team
The team includes:
- Physiotherapists
- Extended Scope Physiotherapists
- Podiatrists
How to access this service
If you are experiencing joint or muscular pains, please visit your GP. They will assess whether a specialist MSK appointment would benefit you. If they think it would, they will refer you.
If you are registered with a Greenwich GP, you can self-refer using the Phio - Circle Integrated Care link - www.circlehealthgroup.co.uk.
In both cases, Circle MSK will assess your referral and direct it to either their own MSK service or the Greenwich MSK Team.
