dancerbabe82 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 If you are injured and need to see a consultant there is a new Sport and Exercise Medicine Consultant at Queen Elizabeth Hospital who specialises in Dance Medicine. Your GP can give a direct referral to him or use the “Choose and Book” system. His name is Leon Creaney, Physiotherapy Department, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. The more dancers he sees, the service will increase. At the moment he only has clinic on a Monday and Tuesday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletla Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks for letting us know. Is he actually a consultant or a physiotherapist? I read somewhere recently about a new NHS service in London for dancers as well but can't remember any detail. Sorry brain like a sieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyG Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 That explains why DS school suggested referring him to Queen Elizabeth Hospital when his physio allowance under BUPA was used up. They said there was about a 4 week wait though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
