Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen for Dynamic Health NHS Physiotherapy & Musculoskeletal Interface Services to employ FCP at Granta PCN which have GP surgeries located in and around the Royston Region


We are looking for an enthusiastic physiotherapist, either working as an FCP or ready to take that next step, to work in a FCP role and would consider a part time FCP post.


As the largest providers of FCP services in the region, we are established in setting up and supporting these new roles.

This FCP role will be supported by a designated Advance Practitioner working in our well-established Musculoskeletal Interface service enabling the FCP service to be fully integrate within the MSK system.

The FCP post would suit an experienced MSK Physiotherapist looking to expand their clinical skills working within GP settings. Regular clinical supervision, mentoring and professional development will be provided to ensure the post holder maximises their potential.


You will have a nominated FCP accredited supervisor who will support you through your development and sign off in line with HEE requirements for the FCP RoadMap.

You will also receive IRMER and diagnostic skills development.


Whilst it is desirable that you have completed stage 1 of the roadmap, this is not essential as we can put together a bespoke plan to accommodate the right person if they demonstrate the right competency and values for the role.


The post holder will be working at GP practices managing patients, without prior contact with their GP, to establish a rapid and accurate diagnosis and management plan.


This is an ideal role for a motivated individual who is passionate about delivering high quality and joined up clinical management of musculoskeletal conditions.


The FCP will provide frontline expert screening, assessment and management including referring for diagnostics and will be working as part of the primary care team.


Rated 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission, we are proud to provide high quality innovative services across most of the east of England that enable people to receive care closer to home and live healthier lives.


There's one reason why our services are outstanding - and that's our amazing staff - who, for the seventh year running, rated us incredibly highly in the national staff survey.


If there are available MSK Physiotherapy hours in the Dynamic Health Department and the applicant is interested in split role working in addition to the advertised FCP work, this can be explored at the interview.


We are looking for experienced and dynamic senior clinicians that can work in FCP clinics managing a diverse MSK caseload and deliver quality clinical care for patients utilising shared decision-making and making every contact count.


To provide high levels of clinical expertise across MSK, Rheumatology and Persistent Pain, and make decisions about the best course of action for patients' care (including in relation to undifferentiated conditions).

This will involve seeing patients, without prior contact with their GP, to establish a rapid and accurate diagnosis and management plan.


To request certain investigations to facilitate diagnosis and choice of treatment regime, understanding the information limitations derived from these and the relative sensitivity and specificity of particular tests such as x-rays and blood test, and interpret and act on results to aid diagnosis and the management plans of patients.


To deliver programmes of supported patient self-management, in ways that facilitate behavioural change, optimise individuals' physical activity, mobility, fulfilment of personal goals and independence, utilising social prescriber and health coaches support and that minimise the need for pharmacological interventions.

To take professional responsibility as a first-contact physiotherapist, with high-level decision-making and clinical-reasoning skills to assess, diagnose and triage of patients

To manage a complex caseload in both the face to face or virtual setting (including patients with long-term conditions, co
- morbidities, psychosocial and mental health needs, and other multi-factorial needs)

Be accountable for decisions and actions via HCPC registration, supported by a professional culture of peer networking/review and engagement in evidence-based practice

Required to complete stage 1 (if not done so already) & 2 of HEE MSK RoadMap whilst in employment.


To use professional judgement and advanced clinical reasoning skills to make decisions about safe and effective patient care in unpredictable situations, including when there is incomplete/contradictory information.

To be able to work autonomously as a lone practitioner.

Be able to demonstrate understanding of the impact of physiotherapeutic interventions on existing conditions and treatment programmes e.g. podiatric treatment, drug therapies, etc.

Streamline pathway of care by providing a responsive service so that patients receive timely a
