Long & in depth pathway for treatment, difficult to access.
The referral process to get more in depth help and investigation. The pathway means you can't progress unless you have seen and done what they want even if everyone knows what the outcome will be. Very difficult to access. However, physio has been very good and the self referral process works well. The pathway is rigid, even my GP couldn't do anything. At every step all professionals knew what was needed but no one could do anything to shorten or simplify the pathway.
