Social Prescribers
Social Prescribing connects people to activities, groups, and services in their community.
Our Social Prescribing Link Workers give our patients the time to focus on ‘what matters to you’ and take a holistic approach to your health and wellbeing.
Your conversation can begin with either a referral from your GP, nurse or member of our practice team, or you can self-refer yourself for an appointment.
Our team are unable to help with any medical advice or medication requests. They are not able to help with complex mental health conditions. They can only see patients aged 18 years and over
The appointments with a Social Prescriber can be carried out on the telephone or face to face and are usually longer than a standard GP appointment.
Our team are here to listen and connect patients to local community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support.
Learn more by watching the 'What is social prescribing?' video, which is a short animation that explains what social prescribing is and how it could benefit you.
