Job Summary

- Requests for relevant imaging, and where appropriate, blood tests to assist in the diagnostic clinical reasoning process can also be made.
What I can do
- Can offer practical advice to encourage patients to take ownership of their condition, reduce the reliance on medication and reduce footfall through the surgery in general terms.

What I can't do
- Cannot reverse the effects of the natural aging process and its associated aches and pains.
- Cannot prescribe medication or give injections.
- Although able to refer to MSK Physiotherapy treatment providers and giving them relevant clinical examination findings to support my clinical reasoning process, cannot influence their clinical judgement and treatment choices.
