Social Prescribing Service (Redditch)

This service helps individuals connect with non-medical support to improve their health and wellbeing. It addresses a wide range of issues including long-term conditions, mental health concerns, loneliness, social isolation, financial worries, employment challenges, housing problems, and family issues. Social prescribers offer personalised one-to-one sessions to understand individual needs, build confidence, connect patients to appropriate services and support, and enable them to make informed choices. The service is for patients aged 18 and over who are registered with a GP surgery in Redditch or Wythall, and whose health and wellbeing are impacted by practical or social issues. Delivery is through personalised one-to-one sessions, likely conducted in-person at a GP surgery or via telephone. To access the service, patients should speak to their GP surgery for a referral.
