Dear Anonymous,

I am really sorry that you were provided with incorrect information and that this has caused you frustration. I am not aware of the ability to book Physiotherapy appointments online so I am sorry that this expectation was set.

Patients can self-refer into the physiotherapy service by calling the appropriate number for the area in which they want to be seen; the link below provides the telephone numbers for the relevant areas:

http://www.torbaycaretrust.nhs.uk/ourservices/physiotherapy/Pages/Default.aspx

There are also some useful leaflets about the service included on this webpage, I will ensure that your comments are fed back to the reception team and that they are aware of the correct information to give out to patients.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback.

If you have any further comments or would like to discuss further, please do not hesitate to contact me, you can call 01803 652 578 or email patientfeedback.sdtccg@nhs.net our offices are open Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm.

Best wishes

Sam
