MSK (SCAS) CATs Integrated Service: Enfield
EnfieldFor self-referrals to physiotherapy, pelvic health and podiatry see the service page Physiotherapy Services.
The Enfield MSK Specialist Clinical Assessment Services (SCAS) provides a single point of access care model for all MSK referrals (including MSK CATs, MSK Physiotherapy, MSK Podiatry, Trauma and Orthopaedics, Pain management and Rheumatology).
Referrals are triaged by an Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner to ensure patients are referred to the most appropriate service. Secondary care referrals are forwarded to the relevant provider; this helps to improve the patient experience and journey.
The clinical model for Enfield community MSK (SCAS) CATs is as follows:
- single Point of Access (SPoA) to process all referrals via e-referrals
- specialist clinicians triage all referrals
- multi-disciplinary team working
