SOCIAL PRESCRIBING LINK WORKER
Social Prescribing helps you to explore extra services that may support you to improve your health, wellbeing and independence.
SOCIAL PRESCRIBING
How does it work?
A member of the GP practice or health and social care team may suggest a referral to the Social Prescribing service.
Kate, our Social Prescribing Link Worker, will then contact you to find out what you are interested in, tell you about what activities and services are available locally and help you to access them.
Together you will be able to:
Explore what is important to you or your life and wellbeing
Identify the local activities and services you can benefit from
Gain support & encouragement to start using services that can help you

· Who can find you activities that will suit you
· Who can give you support along the way
