An extended assessment is a more comprehensive and in-depth assessment of a patient’s problem by one of our Chartered and State Registered Physiotherapists.
The assessments include more objective measures, a more comprehensive report (including fitness for normal, and modified duties) with insights into the patient’s current status, future status and treatment pathways.
Patients who have extended assessments are scrutinised via our clinical scrutiny department:
Every report is read and checked by one of our senior clinicians to assess suitability and appropriateness. Any discrepancies and/or questions are then asked back to the assessing therapist for comment/clarification. Jargon/abbreviations/medical terms are explained.
Our scrutiny therapists offer you advice on how to proceed (with the management of the patient). Note, this is advice only the final decision is always yours.
