Great service for fast diagnosis and treatment

Easy to book an appointment with the online physio, even same day was available. The physio was prompt and professional and knowledgeable. Upon consultation a need for face to face physio was identified and a referral made immediately back to AXA so i could arrange this. An excellent service.

Had to call back chasing my referral

Physio consultant was great and thorough logging the referral, however, I had to call back chasing my referral, wasn’t sent due to a setting on my account which wasn’t noticed. This has made my face to face referral take weeks longer to arrange.
