Research summary
The research to be undertaken will be a questionnaire based survey. It will be trying to determine whether service users in 4 GP health Centres on Anglesey would be willing to see a Physiotherapist as a First Point of Contact and in preference to their GP, when struggling in pain or if having sustained an injury.
