CORONAVIRUS UPDATE:

During the current COVID-19 climate, the MSK service is currently offering either a telephone or face to face initial consultation based on clinical need. Due to the impact of COVID-19 on the service, there may be a longer wait than usual for your initial consultation.

How has the Coronavirus outbreak affected my appointment? The MSK service is now undertaking telephone consultations with all patients and is only seeing patients face to face if there is an identified clinical need.
