Category:Primary Contact
Within this compilation of pages you will be able to find all the information compiled by our community of therapists relating to physiotherapy primary assessment, screening tools, differential diagnosis in practice, adjunct medical & first aid interventions and specific physiotherapy treatment guidelines relevant to working as a primary contact clinician.
A primary contact physiotherapist is the first point of contact a patient presents to for their problem; usually movement or pain related. It is the responsibility of the physiotherapist to provide comprehensive care to these patients'.
Primary contact physiotherapists can be found within all sectors of the profession depending on the country's health system. For example, in Australia, no referral or pre-assessment is needed to make an appointment to see a physiotherapist in private practice therefore that appointment will be the primary contact with the patient.
