Physiotherapy
A daily Physiotherapy out-patient clinic takes place in the ED:
Referral to the physiotherapy service is via doctors working within the ED. The aim is to see patients for physiotherapy assessment within 72 hours of initial presentation to the ED.
Patients with musculoskeletal conditions (muscle and joint injuries) are assessed by a Senior Physiotherapist. Commonly seen conditions include knee, ankle, shoulder, neck and back injuries. The physiotherapist provides assessment and advice, and follow-up treatment and rehabilitation if necessary.
