First contact physiotherapy GP resources

The CSP in consultation with members and patients, have put together a suite of resources to support first contact physiotherapy services in primary care. 

With the increase in first contact physiotherapy (FCP) services across the UK, there is a growing need to promote services at a local level. We have developed a suite of resources to help promote your service to patients as well as supporting practice staff with care navigation.

These resources can now be ordered through our print on demand service, or downloaded using the links below. Currently print on demand is only accessible to members, if you are not a member, but support an FCP service, please contact fcp@csp.org.uk
