A social prescriber is a key member of the healthcare team who helps connect patients with non-medical support within the community. They work with individuals to address social, emotional, and practical needs that may be affecting their health and well-being. Social prescribers can guide you to local services and activities, such as exercise groups, volunteering opportunities, or support networks, that can improve your quality of life. By focusing on holistic care, social prescribers empower you to take control of your health and build a supportive community around you.
This service is available at all of our sites. Please get in touch with your surgery if you (or a relative) wish to be put in contact with a Social Prescriber. Or you can contact us online if you find it easier.
