The CSP shares experience of Community Appointment Day in HSJ
We were lucky enough to welcome some of the team from The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy at our most recent Community Appointment Day to experience what this innovative approach is all about!
Sara Hazzard (She/her), Senior Strategic Communications, Campaigns, Policy, Improvement and Marketing Leader at The CSP has shared her thoughts about the day in a fantastic article for the Health Service Journal – ‘How to radically reduce your MSK waiting list in two days’.
The model allows clinicians to provide better care by working with local community services, focusing on prevention and health promotion, and truly reaching the people who really need this support.

Thank you to Sara, Mindy Dalloway and Clare Aldridge from The CSP for joining us.
