Emergency physicians’ perspectives on integrating physiotherapists into emergency departments: a national survey from France

French emergency physicians are generally supportive of integrating physiotherapists into EDs, especially for the management of non-urgent MSK conditions. The physicians see physiotherapists as capable of providing on-site care and patient education, potentially improving patient flow and alleviating pressures in overcrowded EDs. These findings offer valuable insights for countries in which the integration of physiotherapy into emergency care is still emerging.

Abstract

French emergency physicians are generally supportive of integrating physiotherapists into EDs, especially for the management of non-urgent MSK conditions. The physicians see physiotherapists as capable of providing on-site care and patient education, potentially improving patient flow and alleviating pressures in overcrowded EDs. These findings offer valuable insights for countries in which the integration of physiotherapy into emergency care is still emerging.
