Community referral criteria
See our referral criteria (Word 99KB). You can watch our webinar on YouTube for an explanation of our referral criteria.
Children must be registered with a GP in Southwark or Lambeth. If a child is registered with a Lambeth or Southwark GP, but goes school out of the borough, we will provide the initial assessment at one of our centres. Although we are unable to work directly with the school we will send them our recommendations and advice.
Musculoskeletal referrals
As a community physiotherapy service, we do not see children with primary musculoskeletal problems like back pain or knee pain. These children need to be referred to King's College Hospital or Evelina London outpatients physiotherapy service.
