Social Prescribing

Your doctor is not the only person who can help you feel better.

We recognise that many things affect your health and well being. Our aim is to support you to have more control of your own health and well being and to manage your needs in a way that suits you.

Your Link Worker can:

  • Support you to identify what you would like to be different
  • Explore your strengths to find solutions to make that change
  • Set small and achievable personal goals
  • Help you build up motivation and confidence
  • Work together to develop new coping strategies
  • Connect you with people, activities, groups & opportunities in your area

If you are over the age of 18 and feel you would benefit from some support, then speak to the reception staff at your practice.

One of our Link Workers will then contact you to say hello and arrange an appointment.

We take time to focus on what matter to you.

Government have announced we are moving into the delay phase of #COVID19. This means, if you have a new cough OR a high temperature (37.8 degrees or higher), but generally feel well, you do not need to contact anybody. You do need to self isolate for 7 days.

We expect the NHS to be exceptionally busy in the coming days and weeks. If you have serious symptoms that you cannot manage at home or persist longer than 7 days, please go to NHS 111 online, or call 111 if you cannot go online.
