Social Prescribing can help with things that affect someone’s wellbeing but cannot be fixed by medicine alone. If someone has a problem that is not medical, Social Prescribers can help them connect with the most appropriate support. Social Prescribing also aims to tackle loneliness and isolation, helping people to feel more involved in their community.
Our five social prescribers talk with patients to understand their needs and discuss what help and support is available. If there is a problem that is not medical, the social prescriber can connect the patient to appropriate support and find ways for them to feel more in control of their health and wellbeing and a part of the community.
