A colleague of mine has asked me to get some
information for her.
At present she is providing a relatively new service
which is basically a physio led shoulder assessment
clinic. The service basically means that instead of
waiting on a list for three months to see our
orthopaedic consultant they are seen by a senior
physiotherapist and if they can be helped by physio
they receive a course of treatment. If they need to
see a consultant they are fast tracked into the
consultants clinic. (At least that's how I understand
the service anyway)
My colleague has been asked to audit the service and
wishes to know if anyone else around the country is
providing a similar service, whether they have audited
it and what sort of results they found (e.g. decreased
waiting lists, patient satisfaction with the service.
etc. etc.) They already have an audit tool for
shoulder
ax, but are wanting to extend the service to elbow
wrist and general upper limb disorders. If anyone has
any audit tools for these that they would be willing
to share/discuss with my colleague it would be most
appreciated.
If any of you have any information on any of the above
please email me and I will pass on my colleagues snail
mail address.
Thanks in advance.
