RISE (Rutland Integrated Social Empowerment Service) is part of Rutland County Council's neighbourhood approach to supporting people through social prescribing and other methods.
Social prescribers are health professionals based in local GP practices. They work closely with GPs to help patients address non-medical needs by identifying what matters to them and creating a personalised care plan. This may include referrals to local services and community organisations.
RISE covers the following GP surgeries:
- The Uppingham Surgery
- Oakham Medical Practice
- Empingham Medical Centre
- Market Overton and Somerby Surgeries
Through RISE, you can access support for a wide range of social, emotional, and practical needs. The service aims to empower you to improve your wellbeing by connecting you with local resources and activities.
How it works:
- Speak to your GP or practice staff about social prescribing
- Work with a social prescriber to identify your needs and goals
- Receive a tailored care plan and referrals to community services
RISE is here to help you find the right support, improve your quality of life, and feel more connected to your community.
