Referrals / MSK Consultants
We can refer direct to a range of MSK consultants, below are a selection of consultants we work with
At BTST we understand pain can be an extremely frightening experience, not knowing what to do or who to see!
This can be exacerbated by feeling alone or frustrated with the inability to see your GP or gaining the right referral to an expert consultant who can really help.
Thats why we have made it our mission to develop direct links to MSK consultants, so we can get you seen in a timely fashion by the right person! Either through the NHS or via a private referral process, if and when needed.
