A message from the team:
Do you feel you need more than a prescription? Good healthcare involves a mix of physical, mental and social issues. This is where Social Prescribing comes in, with its focus on what matters most to you. Many things affect your health and wellbeing. GPs tell us that a lot of people visit them feeling isolated or lonely. Or they might be stressed out by work, money and housing problems. Sometimes it’s the stress of managing different long-term conditions.
The Social Prescribing Link Worker is there to listen to you, and put you in touch with the people and activities that might help you to feel better. Social prescribing can help you to have more control over your own health and find ways to improve how you feel in a way that suits you.

Our appointments are up to an hour long, and we offer up to six sessions, so you’ll have plenty of time to explain your situation. Just ask your GP or other clinician for a referral to our service and someone will give you a call.
