Good afternoon List,
with a limited budget for physiotherapy for our staff, we are finding that GPs
are increasingly telling their patients/ our staff to see Occupational Health as
its quicker. This is having an obvious effect and makes it difficult for us when
staff are being turned down or we are having to justify same. Dont want to
annoy GP colleagues on this list, but its unfair when they have a larger budget
than us for this service. Whilst we have a protocol, I would appreciate
feedback from the group as to how they manage this delicate matter if they
exeprience the same issues.. Any protocols or criteria for referral in their area
would be appreciated to do a comparison for quality.
