Efficient and competent

I was very pleased with my online assessment for a sprained ankle: the consultant asked relevant questions, gave advice and then referred me to an in-person visit, which was quickly arranged less than 24 hours after.

Great service, terrible website and automation.

Good: Registering a claim is quick. Got a video appointment really quickly (same day). Physio I spoke to was really helpful and recommended next steps were just what I wanted.
Bad: Follow-up was a confusing automated email which didn't match what I agreed with the physio, followed by a phone call from someone who hadn't seen my reply. Got it sorted, but the automated parts of the process are terrible.

Friendly, fast and efficient

The physio was on time with the video appointment and was very thorough with their assessment. They were helpful and friendly and arranged an in person session with a local physio very quickly. They also provided an exercise plan on the same day. Very happy with the prompt service all round
