Clinic 360 brings together specialist clinicians who focus on prompt, non-surgical assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. The team also supports patients requiring dermatology, general practice and menopausal care. Each service is designed around expert review, clear communication and practical next steps, with no GP referral necessary.
Who works at Clinic 360?
The clinic is built around a consultant-led, multidisciplinary approach. That means your care is directed by clinicians with specialist expertise, while diagnostic imaging, procedures and follow-up are coordinated around your individual symptoms and goals.
For many musculoskeletal patients, this can avoid the familiar pattern of separate appointments, uncertain referrals and long waits between a scan, a diagnosis and treatment. Where clinically appropriate, assessment, point-of-care ultrasound, explanation of the findings and an ultrasound-guided intervention may all be completed during the same appointment.
The exact clinician you see depends on the problem you have and the body area involved.
Specialist musculoskeletal clinicians
Musculoskeletal specialists form the core of the clinical team and we have some of the leading practitioners within this field. They assess pain and injury affecting joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and the spine. This includes common concerns involving the shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist, hip, knee, ankle and foot, as well as back pain.
Their role is to establish what is driving your symptoms rather than treating pain in isolation. For example, shoulder pain may relate to rotator cuff tendinopathy, bursitis, arthritis, frozen shoulder or a problem referred from the neck. Knee pain can result from osteoarthritis, a meniscal injury, patellar tendon pain or inflammation around the joint. These conditions can feel similar without a focused assessment.
A specialist consultation considers how the problem started, what movements provoke it, whether symptoms affect sleep or work, and what treatment you have already tried. Physical examination remains a key part of this process. Imaging can add valuable detail, but it is most useful when interpreted alongside your symptoms and examination findings.
The emphasis is often on non-operative management. This may involve a rehabilitation plan, advice on activity modification, medication guidance, an injection or referral for further imaging or surgical opinion when that is the most appropriate route. Non-surgical treatment is not a compromise. For many conditions, it is the recommended first step and can provide meaningful improvement when matched to the correct diagnosis.
Point-of-care ultrasound expertise
Diagnostic ultrasound is particularly useful for many soft-tissue and joint conditions. It can assess tendons, muscles, bursae, ligaments, fluid around joints and certain nerve problems in real time. It also allows the clinician to compare the painful side with the unaffected side and to see how structures move.
Our clinicians are highly specialised and experienced in integrated musculoskeletal ultrasound as an extension of the consultation, not only as a stand-alone test. A scan may identify tendon thickening, inflammation, a tear, calcification or joint changes that help explain your pain. Equally, it may show that a structure which appeared concerning on a previous report is not the source of your symptoms. That distinction can prevent treatment being directed at the wrong problem.
Ultrasound is not the best test for every condition. Deep structures, complex bone injury and some spinal problems may require X-ray, MRI, CT or other investigations. A good clinician will explain when ultrasound is useful and when another test or specialist opinion is needed.
Clinicians providing ultrasound-guided treatment
Where an injection or aspiration is clinically appropriate, our team has extensive experience to make sure that procedures are delivered accurately and safely. This may be used for selected joint, tendon sheath, bursa and soft-tissue treatments.
The decision to proceed is never automatic and our team will discuss the likely benefit, alternatives, potential risks and what recovery or aftercare involves.
Other specialist services in the team
Musculoskeletal pain does not always sit neatly within one speciality. Clinic 360 also provides access to dermatology, general practice and menopausal care, recognising that patients may need support beyond a single joint or injury.
A dermatology clinician assesses concerns affecting the skin, hair and nails. This may be relevant when a rash, changing lesion, persistent itching or another skin issue needs specialist review. A prompt assessment can provide reassurance, clarify a diagnosis and identify whether treatment or monitoring is required.
General practice care is valuable when symptoms need a broad medical view. Not all pain, fatigue, swelling or reduced mobility is purely musculoskeletal. A GP can consider your overall health, medications and medical history, and help identify when tests, treatment or referral to another speciality are appropriate.
How the team works around your appointment
The benefit of a multidisciplinary private clinic is not just the list of specialities available. It is how care is organised. You should not be left trying to interpret a report on your own or wondering whether the next step is rest, rehabilitation, medication, injection or referral.
Your consultation is focused on decisions. After assessment, you should understand the likely diagnosis, what the imaging shows if ultrasound is used, what treatment options are available and why one option is being recommended. Clear reporting is particularly helpful if you are working with another healthcare professional and for continuity of care.
Some patients need one focused appointment and a plan to follow at home or with their existing physiotherapist. Others benefit from review after treatment, particularly if symptoms are persistent, the diagnosis is uncertain or recovery is not progressing as expected. This is tailored care rather than a fixed pathway.
Choosing the right appointment
When booking, describe the body area affected, how long symptoms have been present and whether there has been an injury. Mention previous scans, treatments, surgery, injections or relevant medical conditions. This helps ensure your appointment is matched to the right clinical expertise from the outset.
You do not need to know the diagnosis before you attend. In fact, many patients book because they have been given conflicting explanations or have not had a clear explanation at all. Your role is to describe what you are experiencing. The clinical team’s role is to investigate carefully, explain the findings in plain language and recommend a proportionate route forward.
If pain, injury or a skin concern is taking up too much of your day, seeking expert assessment early can replace uncertainty with a clear, practical next step.
