I have been suffering from very intense pain in my left knee. I was about to go on a holiday but was able to make an early appointment with a physiotherapist who is contracted to visit our surgery once a week
Being able to refer myself directly to him, was a great help. He was able to diagnose the problem and give me treatment which eased the pain and advice which will help me to prevent further damage.
The ability to get through to a receptionist, easily, make an appointment, directly with the physio, meant that I felt I was in control about getting better.
I hear so many people who are having real difficulty in accessing medical help and as I approach my eighties, this makes me afraid. The approach taken by my surgery greatly reassures me
