If you wish to be seen by a physiotherapist please go to the ’ Move to Improve website’. There is a self referral form to complete and your request will go straight to the hospital for review.
The Musculoskeletal self-referral form is only for MSK conditions, not Women’s Health, Neuro physio domiciliary, etc. Please ask your GP for advice if you are unsure.
Before you complete the self-referral form you will be asked:
Have you been using the advice and tips on the self-help sections for around 8 weeks?
Are you still feeling pain or discomfort?
Are you registered with a GP practice in Evesham, Droitwich, Pershore, Malvern, Tenbury, Worcester, Upon, Redditch or Bromsgrove? Bredon Hill Surgery falls under Evesham/Pershore
If you wish to attend Tewkesbury Community Hospital the request will need to be discussed with a doctor
