MSK Physiotherapy : Launch of our Physiotherapy MSK Website and Self-Referral
The Physiotherapy MSK website is now available for staff and patients. The site can to accessed here. The site hosts comprehensive information on what physiotherapy can offer as well as useful advice and exercises. These exercises and videos provide patients with an easy-to-use guide on how to manage common MSK conditions.
Patients (or friends / relatives on the patient’s behalf) will also be able to complete an online form to self-refer to NHS Lanarkshire Physiotherapy. Please note that, due to well-publicised demand, we are keen that patients are encouraged to trial the self-management advice before self-referring.
The self-referral form can be used by any adult living in Lanarkshire who has an MSK condition. This form will be received by our Physiotherapy team, will be clinically triaged and added to our waiting list.

SMOKING
Quit Your Way
Giving up smoking is not something you have to do on your own.
There is a NHS service available in Lanarkshire to help you succeed.
Quit Your Way is a free stop smoking service, where trained and friendly advisers can be contacted via Freephone or live web chat. The service offers a variety of support options and access to nicotine replacement treatments, even if those who smoke have attempted to quit previously.
You may have tried to stop before without success – nicotine is a powerful, addictive drug. The team are there to help and support you when you feel ready.
