Staff changes

Katherine has fractured her elbow (ouch!) and will not be back in clinic until September. However, Dr Damon Murgatroyd will be providing locum cover on Mondays and some Fridays. Damon now works purely as an osteopath, but his patients benefit from 30 years of knowledge and skills gained through a combined career of General Practice, Musculo-skeletal Medicine and Osteopathy. I have known Damon since I first qualified in 2005 and am delighted he has been able to step into the breach.

Online/Telephone Appointments

If you would like an online or telephone appointment, please email us or leave a message with your phone number on 01202 888439 and we will call you to discuss.

Most of the appointment will be very similar to a face to face appointment; we will listen to your story and ask you questions to help understand your presenting symptoms and establish your goals.

Rather than performing tests on you, we will guide you through a physical examination. Combined with our questioning, this will enable us determine the root cause of your symptoms and to check that there is nothing serious going on that requires other care. We will then explain our thinking to you and discuss specific self care and exercises and plan out your treatment together.

Fees for online/telephone appointments

As has always been the case, there is no charge for brief telephone calls or emails.

Fees can be paid by BACS transfer or by text link.

For patients we have seen before:

Sessions last 15 or 30 minutes, costing £15/£30 respectively.

For new patients:

Sessions last approximately 45 minutes and cost £55.
