Social prescribing involves helping patients to improve their health, wellbeing and social welfare by connecting them to community services which might be run by the council or a local charity.
Social prescribing works for a wide range of people, including people:
- with one or more long-term conditions
- who need support with their mental health
- who are lonely or isolated
- who have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing
Social prescribing link workers are becoming an integral part of the multi-disciplinary teams in primary care networks (PCN’s) and we are lucky to have Lil Dye working closely with us to support us alongside medical treatment as part of personalised care.
You can also view up to date Social Prescribing opportunities, resources and help via the new Social Prescribers face book page https://www.facebook.com/socialprescribers/
