Our Social Prescribing team supports people to connect to services within their local community promoting their overall wellbeing.

What do our Social Prescribers do?

Our Social Prescribers are here to help you focus on what matters most to you. Through shared decision-making and personalised support planning, they’ll work with you to set meaningful goals. They can connect you to local community groups and agencies that offer social, practical and emotional support. By working closely with local partners and organisations, they help make sure you can access the right services at the right time.

Your Social Prescriber can:
✅ Empower you to make positive changes
✅ Offer tailored support that’s centred around your needs and wellbeing
✅ Help you build a network of support
✅ Provide short-term help (up to six sessions)
✅ Respect your choices and decisions - based on what matters most to you
✅ Work with you in a collaborative, non-judgemental way

Who can be referred?

You can be referred to our Social Prescribing service if you’re 18 or over and registered at one of the GP practices we work with (see list below). A GP or a member of the surgery team can refer you. Once referred, your Social Prescriber will work with you to find the support and services that best suit your needs.

If you’d like to be referred, please speak to your GP surgery.
