The experiences of patients attending the emergency department who were managed by physiotherapists: a person-centred perspective

Purpose The expectation for all clinicians to deliver person-centred practices extends to the growing number of primary contact physiotherapists based in United Kingdom emergency departments (ED). Research on ED patients' experience of this physiotherapy role has yet to consider this through the lens of person-centredness. A qualitative exploration of person-centredness among ED physiotherapists through the experiences of attending patients targeted this knowledge gap to inform future clinical practice.
