New NHS Evidence QIPP case study: Musculoskeletal physiotherapy: patient self-referral

New NHS Evidence QIPP case study: Musculoskeletal physiotherapy: patient self-referral:
The self-referral pilots have shown that people who self-refer to physiotherapy take fewer days off work, and are half as likely to be off work for longer than a month compared with people who have been referred using more conventional routes.
The initiative means that people can refer themselves directly to their local NHS physiotherapy practice - as long as they are over 16 and do not have neurological, breathing or gynaecological problems. NHS Networks
