The Musculoskeletal Clinical Assessment and Triage Service (MCATs) Service is based at Leatherhead hospital and is made up of the most senior physiotherapists who assess those patients with the most complex musculoskeletal problems.

Clinicians are able to refer patients on to have further investigations (e.g. Xray), and work closely with secondary care consultants. This ensures that patients are referred appropriately for surgical or other specialist non-invasive intervention.
