Welcome to
PhysioWakefield

From Monday 1st April 2025 Novus Health, Ascenti Physio and Phoenix Health Solutions officially joined forces under the name PhysioWakefield.

It is part of a wider MSK collaboration with Cora Health, MYTT and local NHS Commissioners to transform the MSK pathways in Wakefield.

What’s Changing?

  • New Name: We’re now known as PhysioWakefield, representing our collaborative approach to providing high-quality, patient-centred care.
  • Unified Service: This partnership provides a consistent, holistic, and streamlined MSK physiotherapy service. Supported by Cora Health Tier 2 MSK services – as part of the wider pathway development in Wakefield.
  • Self-Referral Made Easy: Patients no longer need a GP referral to access MSK physiotherapy.

What This Means for Our Service

  • Stronger Together: By merging the expertise of three leading providers, we’re ensuring a more effective, resilient, and scalable physiotherapy service.
  • Improved Patient Journey: Self-referral streamlines the process, offering quicker access to care, reducing reliance on GP appointments, and empowering patients.
  • Consistent Care, Enhanced Outcomes: Patients will experience the same high standards of care from familiar, trusted clinicians — now under a single, unified service.

Operational Developments

  • System One Module Update: A new system module will be implemented to support smoother workflows and data management.
  • Rebranding & Uniforms: Staff will transition to updated PhysioWakefield-branded uniforms to reflect our new identity.
  • Improved Access: a more consistent approach to patient access using self booking and online services

What This Means for Patients

  • Continuity of Care: Existing patients will see no changes to their current treatment plans or ongoing care — only the name has changed.
  • Improved Access: Self-referral options and streamlined pathways ensure faster access to care, reducing delays and enhancing the patient experience.

We’re incredibly proud of this collaboration and the benefits it will bring to patients, staff, and the wider PhysioWakefield community. We believe Wakefield will deliver more effective care pathways, improved clinical outcomes and long-term sustainability.
