Project to evaluate patient self-referral to women’s health physiotherapy pilot sites

The success of the DOH musculoskeletal self-referral project prompted the CSP to identify other client groups and populations that might benefit from patient self-referral. In 2010 the CSP agreed to work with the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Women’s Health (ACPWH) to extend patient self-referral to women’s health physiotherapy services, particularly continence and pelvic floor rehabilitation.

This report documents the findings from seven pilot sites which were asked to gather a wide range of data, including Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs).
