First Community Health & Care provides NHS community health services in East Surrey. Its website does not list a dedicated FND clinic or FND-specific physiotherapy pathway. However, it offers outpatient and community physiotherapy, so people with FND may wish to ask whether one of these services can help with their particular needs.
Please contact the service to check whether it is appropriate for you. Referral, eligibility and treatment depend on the service’s assessment and criteria.
Outpatient physiotherapy
First Community’s outpatient physiotherapy service supports a range of musculoskeletal conditions affecting bones, joints and muscles. The service is based at clinics including Consort House in Redhill.
The published criteria say you must be aged 16 or over and registered with an East Surrey GP practice. GPs, consultants, First Contact Practitioners, and other community services can refer you. You can also self-refer if you meet the eligibility criteria.
If you have FND, you may wish to contact the service before applying to ask whether it can assess your symptoms and whether the physiotherapy offered suits your goals. The service’s website does not confirm that it provides FND-specific rehabilitation.
How to self-refer
Complete the First Community MSK self-referral form and email it to
First Community Health & Care
Consort House

The service reviews referrals to decide whether outpatient physiotherapy is suitable. Self-referral does not guarantee a quicker appointment.
The website advises people with certain symptoms—including unexplained bladder or bowel problems, unsteadiness or difficulty walking, and persistent numbness or pins and needles in both arms or legs—to speak with their GP before self-referring. Check the service’s current guidance before completing a form.
Community physiotherapy at home
First Community also provides community physiotherapy in people’s homes, residential homes and nursing homes. Its published information describes this service as being for adults aged 18 or over who are housebound and registered with a GP in the East Surrey area.
A qualified healthcare professional, such as a GP, physiotherapist, occupational therapist or consultant, must make the referral. If you think this service may be relevant, discuss it with your GP or another healthcare professional and ask whether a referral is appropriate.
