Social Prescriber
Our Social Prescriber Cherie, works five days a week across both our surgery sites. Social Prescribers connect people to activities, groups, and services in their community to meet the practical, social and emotional needs that affect their health and wellbeing.
Social prescribing link workers also support existing community groups to be accessible and sustainable, and help people to start new groups, working collaboratively with all local partners.
Social prescribing is an all-age, whole population approach that works particularly well for people who:
- have one or more long term conditions
- who need support with low level mental health issues
- who are lonely or isolated
- who have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing.
