Social Prescribing is a non-clinical role designed to support people with wider social and lifestyle issues that are affecting their health and wellbeing. It takes a holistic approach, focusing on ‘what matters most’ to people.
Social Prescribers can offer appointments over the phone, at the GP practice, or home visits. They can help people to link up with relevant charities and organisations to help them reach their goals and can introduce people to community groups, activities and support services.
