Musculoskeletal self referral
You do not need to speak to a GP and can self refer for musculoskeletal problems, such as back pain or any joint pain which you have had for over 6 weeks.
You can self refer to the MSK service - click here for the referral form and click here for further information. Requesting to see a GP before self referral will significantly delay any treatment options.
If you need pain relief, the first port of call is the pharmacist who can advise and recommend appropriate over the counter medication. The GPs will not prescribe pain relief until you have tried the maximum tolerated over the counter medication first for the recommended length of time. If you are still unable to manage your pain, then please contact us and the GPs can review your pain relief.
