What I Do

Social Prescribing enables patients to improve their wellbeing and feel more in control of their lives and health. We can all face challenges in our lives, and my role is about finding out the specific ways I can help each person on an individual basis.

How I Support Patients

Our goal is an overall improvement in a patient's well-being. How we do that very much depends upon what the patient is struggling with and can include advice on social issues, housing, benefits, accessing local groups and activities that will help them improve their quality of life.

Get in touch

You can ask any member of staff at your GP practice to refer you to the Social Prescribing Team.
