Minor Injuries When the Insch War Memorial Hospital was closed, we also lost our local access to a minor injury unit.  This service is now accessible through calling NHS24 on 111 and choosing the minor injury option.  This is a 24hrs a day / 7 days a week service.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy can help you to aid recovery after injury or illness. Physiotherapists treat muscle and joint sprains and strains, as well as neck, shoulder and back pain. They use a variety of techniques which can help you return to your normal activities both at home and at work. As part of your treatment the Physiotherapist will offer advice and exercise programmes to help prevent the problem recurring, and the Physiotherapist will liaise closely with your doctor.

Physiotherapy clinics are held at the Practice on Mondays and Thursday

Did you know that you can come to see a Physiotherapist WITHOUT having to SEE YOUR DOCTOR?

We have a First Contact Physiotherapist (FCP) available for appointments in the practice for musculoskeletal issues (soft tissue, muscle and joint problems)

This can be accessed by contacting the Practice reception team.
