Talking Rheumatology

Do you know your First Contact Practitioner from you physiotherapist or osteopath? In this pod Will Gregory (Consultant Physio and BSR Vice President) talks to Sarah Golding (Physio and FCP) about all things FCP including requirements for the role, how it works and links with secondary care Rheumatology.
This is essential listening for those working in FCP roles as much as it is for all working in secondary care Rheumatology to better understand the current primary care MSK landscape.
