Social prescribing connects you to community groups, activities and services for practical and emotional support, giving you time to focus on ‘what matters to me’.
A range of things can impact our health and wellbeing; finances, relationships, lack of social opportunity, stress, housing issues, to name a few. These problems often cannot be solved by medicine or clinical help alone. This is where social prescribing may be able to help.
If you would like to access the social prescriber service please use Patchs or call us and ask the team to book an introductory appointment.
Your Social Prescriber will offer you up to six sessions of support, reviewing your progress along the way.
During the process, we will focus on what’s important to you, working together to identify opportunities to improve your health and wellbeing and setting goals.
Contact can be maintained in several different ways; this will be discussed during your initial appointment to identify what best suits your needs.
