PATIENT VOLUNTEERS

Can you help us?

The practice team love to teach and we have regular groups of medical students with us.  Meeting real people is so helpful for their learning. Would you have 45 minutes free usually the afternoon, for an occasional visit to the practice?

We're looking for patient volunteers both to talk about their experience of different medical conditions and be willing for students to practice physical examination skills (like listening to chests and feeling tummies)

Please let reception know and we will add you on to our list.

Thank You

GP Advanced Physiotherapy (APP) role

What is a GP APP?

A new role supported by Scottish Government aiming to free-up GP time which aims to be patient centred, cost effective and to provide tailor made expert MSK assessment and advice.

During the outbreak of Covid-19 the NHS Inform MSK helpline has been suspended. We can reassure you that the Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner will be available to discuss musculo-skeletal problems such as: joint or muscle pains; sprains and strains; as well as low back and neck pain via a telephone consultation for anyone over the age of 16.

Following your appointment, supporting information and resources useful for your recovery can be sent to you. Further medical help can also be arranged if required.

Benefits for patients

  • Quick, timely access to specialist advise
  • Accessing the most appropriate care pathway at the right time

  • Opportunity to gain lifestyle/physical activity advise

Benefits for GPs

  • More time to manage complex medical cases
  • Sharing of skills in-house

Benefits for the NHS

  • Less testing and prescribing
  • Reduced secondary care referrals
  • Shorted waiting times in secondary care
