Care Co-Ordinators

Social Prescribing Team

Social prescribing is an approach that connects people to activities, groups, and services in their community to meet the practical, social and emotional needs that affect their health and wellbeing.

Our Social Prescribers know everything that is going on locally to support patients. They can support with non-medical issues such as housing, benefits and debt advice, and can help patients to connect with local social and community support groups which all contribute to patients' health and wellbeing.
