Job overview
Due to continued demand for MSK First Contact Physiotherapists within our local Primary Care Networks, we are pleased to be advertising for further FCP clinicians to join our ever expanding MSK service.
Successful candidates will have the opportunity to work within a Primary care setting, managing patients at the beginning of the MSK pathway and embedding the FCP role within your allocated Primary care practices, while remaining fully integrated with our wider MSK service.
You will join a diverse group of FCPs working across York and the wider area. We organize weekly Clinical Governance sessions and provide ongoing clinical and personal support, including Complex Case Discussions, Critical Appraisal Club, Peer Supervision, Live Supervision, Radiology MDT, and varied IST sessions.
We collaborate with local PCNs in areas like South Hambleton, Ryedale, Tadcaster, Selby, and York. We currently have vacancies in Selby Town, and for future opportunities in other areas, please contact the recruiting manager.
Candidates should already be working as a Specialist MSK Physiotherapist at Band 6 or Band 7 or above, with a focus on patient-centered care and education at the start of MSK pathways.
We look forward to your application!
Main duties of the job
As part of the FCP team, you will deliver innovative care within Primary Care.
As a First Contact Practitioner, you will be the first point of contact for GP patients, with MSK patients streamed directly to the FCP clinic by GP reception staff.
You will provide screening, assessment, and diagnosis of Musculoskeletal conditions, supporting patients to self-manage or directing them to appropriate pathways.
You will assess, investigate, and manage patients with MSK problems, referring to the Community MSK service as needed, and become fully integrated within your PCN as a key team member.
Training and governance will be provided weekly, supporting your development, clinical supervision, and opportunities for further qualifications, including PGCert in MSK practice aligned with the HEE FCP roadmap.
