Your Sports & Exercise Injury Treatment Pathway
When you contact us about your sports injury, you will be offered a choice of two appointment types, depending on the nature and status of your injury, and these can usually be offered for the same-day or next day:
Physiotherapy Appointment: If your sports injury has not yet been seen by a specialist, your first appointment will be with one of our Physiotherapists who will assess, treat and if necessary refer you on to our Imaging Department there and then, along with an onward referral to one of our Consultants.
Consultant Appointment: If you present having already had seen a Physiotherapist, having had a scan, or already with a plaster cast on, we can book you in directly with one our specialist Consultants (usually an Orthopaedic Surgeon).
Referrals & Appointments
Self-pay patients do not need a referral from their GP to access our Sports Injury Clinic.
