First Contact Physiotherapy Service

Individuals aged 16+ with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions (affecting bones, muscles, or joints).

Patients registered with a GP surgery in Bridgend, Wales.

Key Features:

  • Direct access to a physiotherapist without needing a GP referral.
  • Physiotherapists assess, diagnose, and collaboratively create personalised management plans.
  • Emphasis on self-management for mild conditions, with guidance provided during appointments.

Appointment Process:

  • Book via GP Surgery: Contact your GP surgery to schedule an appointment with their in-house physiotherapist.
  • Self-Referral Option: If no appointments are available, use the self-referral form to join the hospital physiotherapy waiting list. A physiotherapist may contact you for further details.

This service prioritises timely access to expert care while enabling patients to manage their conditions independently where appropriate.

Adult Weight Management Support

This page is for people who have been referred to weight management services, or have self-referred themselves for weight management support within Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board.

There are a range of links below that you may find helpful to support you whilst on your weight management journey. If you decide not to use any of these, that’s ok too. It will not change how quickly you will be seen.

We are trying to keep our waiting list as up to date as possible. This means that we will contact you from time to time to check if you still require input. If you change your address, email or telephone number, please let us know by emailing CTM.WeightManagement@wales.nhs.uk or phoning 01685 728590. If you no longer require weight management services, please let us know and we will update our waiting list.  

If you need support with your weight and have not yet signed up or been referred to our services, please ask your GP to refer you. (We are currently working on a self-referral system and will be able to provide details shortly).
