IMPORTANT Health Information from ELC and Health & Social Care Partnership

East Lothian Council:

‘Anyone who has a health concern should contact their GP practice – there is capacity within GP practices and people should not hesitate to contact their GPs if they have any health concerns.’

ELC Health & Social Care Partnership:

‘Joint and muscle pain doesn’t go away just because we’re in lockdown. Although, we can’t do face-to-face work at the moment, our team of Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioners can assess, support and refer people on to other appropriate services. All it takes is one phone-call to get things moving.’ See MSK Toolkit for further information
