"MRI scanner and Physiotherapy"

I have been to XRays, the phlebotomy service and physiotherapy and they have all been fine.

2 suggestions:

1. Mobile MRI scanner

GPs cannot currently book MRI scans in Brighton whereas in other parts of the county, this is normal. For example, at the Queen Victoria Hospital in Sussex, it says "GPs can refer patients directly to QVH for imaging tests, including CT and MRI (which has a wait of no more than 3-4 weeks)."

https://www.qvh.nhs.uk/our-services/support-services/diagnostics/

Please could the MRI scanner be made available for GPs to book. A permanent primary care MRI scanner bookable by GPs in either the Hove Polyclinic, Brighton General or Southlands hospital would be very welcome.

2.

primary care physiotherapy

There is currently no primary care physiotherapy service in Brighton and it would be a cost saving to have physiotherapists rather than GPs doing initial assessments of MSK injuries; they also are more skilled at this than GPs. Perhaps the Hove Polyclinic physiotherapy department could operate a physiotherapy assessment directly bookable online by patients - short appointments of say 10 minutes that operate alongside their treatment sessions.
