Clinical incidents, near misses, and patient concerns are documented and reviewed. Where appropriate, actions are implemented and tracked.

Patients can raise concerns through the Contact page or directly with the clinic team. Serious concerns are escalated using internal governance procedures.

Feedback and Concerns

About our public advice

Our condition information and advice guides are educational. They do not provide an individual diagnosis or replace an assessment of your symptoms, medical history and recovery goals.

Advice articles identify the Nexus Physiotherapy team and link to relevant NHS and NICE guidance for further reading. A publication date shows when a guide was published; it should not be treated as confirmation of a separate clinical review. Recovery plans need to reflect your diagnosis and any restrictions from your surgical team.

If you notice information that is unclear or appears out of date, please contact the clinic so we can review it.
