Social Prescribing is a non-medical programme designed to help people with a wide range of social, emotional or practical needs.
This may include those who may be;
- Caring for someone who cannot manage without this help
- Living with a long-term health condition
- Wanting to change their lifestyle e.g. giving up smoking or losing weight
- Feeling worried or anxious
- Feeling lonely or socially isolated
Our Social Prescribing Advisor, Mrs Pippa Swallow is with us at the Practice once a week seeing patients who have either been referred to her by a GP, another member of the practice team or by the patient themselves.
- Please ask at Reception about an appointment if you feel you might benefit from speaking to Pippa.
