This week is #CarersWeek “A carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to a family member or friend who has a disability, illness, mental health condition, addiction, or who needs extra help as they grow older. It isn’t someone who volunteers or is employed to provide support.” This year the theme is 'Caring About Equality' highlighting the inequalities faced by unpaid carers, including a greater risk of poverty, social isolation, poor mental and physical health. Far too often, carers of all-ages miss out on opportunities in their education, careers, or personal lives, just because of their caring role. Get involved in Carers Week 2025, and together let’s work towards an equal society, where carers are truly valued, recognised and supported. If you are a carer, you can access more information and support: ➡️ Carers UK: https://www.carersuk.org ➡️ York Carers Centre: https://www.yorkcares.co.uk If you would like to let us you are a carer, find out how to do this on our website here: https://www.priorymedical.com/referrals-resources/carers/
Musculoskeletal clinics
MSK practitioners
Our Musculoskeletal (MSK) Specialists are Physiotherapists who work at an enhanced level of practice to provide best possible care. They have undergone further specialist training to work alongside our GP's in the diagnosis and management of MSK problems. This may include arranging investigations, prescribing medication, supporting with lifestyle and exercise advice or onward referrals to other supporting services. In addition, they have been trained to identify other signs and symptoms that may look or sound like they are MSK, but could be something completely different.
Use the prioryCARE form and choose the tile named "new back, bone, joint, muscle problem" and your request will be sent directly to the in-house MSK team.
If you would like physiotherapy, please see our referrals page or the YourPhysio website.
