Ben Kilpatrick

First Contact Physiotherapist

Patients with back and joint pain, including conditions such as arthritis, can make an appointment with me directly (or via the practice receptionist), rather than waiting to see a GP or being referred to hospital. By making it easier for patients to access physiotherapy, patients have quicker access to diagnosis and treatment, helping them to manage their conditions more effectively and recover faster, so they can get back to normal life quickly.  This helps GPs to manage their workload more effectively, and reduces the need for onward referrals.
