Staff Physiotherapy Service

NHS staff can now access physiotherapy at a wide range of locations across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight through a self-referral system. If you have musculoskeletal symptoms such as joint/muscle pain, or you have had a new injury then simply complete the referral form below and select where you would like to be seen.

Please note that all your physiotherapy care will need to be completed with the same physio team; once you have started treatment you will not be able to swap to a different location.
