If you feel that you are suffering from a musculoskeletal complaint that could benefit from Physiotherapy, you can make a direct referral to the County Durham Integrated MSK Service (CD IMS). This offers patients greater choice and faster access to hospital services without the need to visit a GP.
This service is available if:
You are aged 16 years and older, and
Registered with a GP within the North Durham, Derwentside, Durham Dales and Easington/Sedgefield area.
If you feel you need further help and assessment regarding your foot problem, you can now refer direct to podiatry through the self referral form. The form can be filled out and sent to the address or email provided on the end of the form.
This self referral process offers patients faster access to services without the need to visit your GP.
