Physio, OT and MSK CATS Service

We understand that even after you finish your treatment, you may have further questions about your treatment or your condition.

If you would like to speak with a clinician, you will need an appointment.

If you were offered a Patient Initiated Follow Up (PIFU), and your last appointment was less than 12 weeks ago, you can book an appointment with your clinician. Please contact us to book.

If you have been discharged, or your last appointment was more than 12 weeks ago, you will need a new referral. For Musculoskeletal CATS, please contact your GP and ask for a new referral. For Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, you can self-refer online or via telephone.

The wait time for investigations does vary, however if you have not heard anything 8 weeks after you had your investigation please contact Musculoskeletal CATS at : 0115 9512432.
