Many things affect your health and wellbeing. GP’s tell us that a lot of people visit them feeling isolated, lonely or stressed by work, money and housing problems.
There are lots of ways that social prescribing may be able to help you and it often starts with a conversation, perhaps with your doctor or a care navigator, who can refer you to someone who can help: a link worker.
Link workers are there to listen to you and put you in touch with the people and activities that might help you to feel better. That might mean being connected to a support service, to a community group, an activity or a local club.
It might be information and guidance: a bit of inside knowledge on your situation connecting you to local resources.
You can self refer to the Social Prescribers by sending a email to –
