An exciting opportunity has arisen to provide specialist physiotherapy intervention in our MSK Outpatient departments based within Ninewells Hospital, Kings Cross Health & Community Care Centre and GP practices across Dundee.
These posts are part of the First Contact service development working within a Physiotherapy Hub, GP practices across Dundee and also as part of the mainstream MSK service. With increasing demands on GP time for MSK conditions, there is a drive to deliver preventative and anticipatory healthcare at the point of need, and as such the main part of this role will be to act as a first point of contact for patients attending the GP practice with an MSK condition. You will have a split caseload of FCP and MSK sessions.
You will work alongside an experienced MSK team, including a 'McKenzie Institute International' senior instructor and an 'Orthopaedic Medicine International' course instructor.
Ongoing personal and professional development is essential to provide a quality service and is supported through CPD workshops, appraisals, in-service training and involvement within the Tayside Practice Development Network. Our clinicians are supported in developing the skills required to deliver quality care to our patients. This includes development of injection therapy, radiographic imaging and independent prescribing.
The Physiotherapy Departments are friendly, dynamic and sociable with strong links to Universities providing student placements primarily from Edinburgh and Aberdeen. The Physiotherapy service in Tayside are dedicated to deliver the best service possible through expanding skills and knowledge, streamlining service and providing the best in patient care.
