Physiotherapy Advice Line (PAL)
A Blended Approach to Physiotheraphy
Learn about our process which has helped numerous NHS Trusts to save hundreds of working days. Our refined and simplified approach is cost effective and delivers results.
We work with NHS trusts who are proactive in working towards creating an environment where health and wellbeing of their employees is actively promoted and encouraged.
The NHS knows this only too well and health and wellbeing is officially recognised as part of the CQUIN requirements.
Estimates from Public Health England put the cost to the NHS of staff absence due to poor health at £2.4bn per year – around £1 in every £40 of the total budget. This figure excludes the cost of agency staff to fill in gaps often associated with staff absence.
We provide occupational physiotherapy services to small or large workplaces nationally, aiming to get their employees back to work as quick as possible. Our average ROI is 10:1. Watch our video to find out how your staff benefit from physiotherapy access.

Our services have been specifically developed to reduce the cost of delivery, without compromising on clinical outcomes.
Our blended, remote and face-to-face delivery model enables us to reduce the amount of time the physio needs to spend with the patient, thus reducing the cost of delivery.

Shoulder Stretching and Strengthening Exercises: Occupational Physiotherapy - Don’t 'Shoulder' the Burden of Pain
The Trust employs circa. 4,500 staff based at two sites, providing acute in-patient, out-patient, day case and emergency services to the local communities.
Physio Med was helpful from the outset in helping us control our costs, suggesting we use management referral in the first instance and limiting the number of treatment sessions per employee.
We implemented the system in February 2017 and have had 28 referrals to the service since then. Implementation was bespoke to our divisional set up and reporting requirements. The electronic referral system helps us keep track of our statistics and the support we have from Physio Med has been excellent.
Wellbeing partners have been using the services of Physio Med for our clients for over three years. Physio Med’s customer service is very responsive with fast, timely communication with the employee to arrange assessments and treatment.
Feedback from service users has been positive. Overall it has been a positive experience and a valuable add-on.
We have been working in partnership with Physio Med since June 2014. The service has greatly benefitted our Trust as it gives us greater access across our Trust footprint. It provides a fast and effective service for the staff within our Trust by utilising a hybrid of its Physiotherapy Advice Line (PAL) service and face-to-face sessions which has benefitted us in terms of financial impact and of improved productivity.
The blended model has enabled an approximate 22% cost saving as opposed to just utilising a face-to-face service.
