Gillian Watters

First Contact Physiotherapist

I am an experienced physiotherapist working with the Outer West PCN as a First Contact Physiotherapist (FCP). This role allows patients fast and direct access to a physio for the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. By offering faster access, patients can be better managed with appropriate advice, education and treatment, resulting in better health outcomes. 

Throughout my career I have worked across multiple different areas of physiotherapy and have specialised in treating complex and persistent musculoskeletal conditions for over a decade. Alongside this role, I work as an Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner within the Spinal Pain pathway in the Tyneside Integrated Musculoskeletal Service (TIMS).
