About this service:

Social prescribing is when health professionals refer patients to support in the community, in order to improve their health and wellbeing.

Link workers give people time, focusing on 'what matters to me' and taking a holistic approach to people's health and wellbeing. They connect people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support.

South Hams PCN is in the heart of South Devon and supports patients across the following GP practices:

• Redferm Health Centre
• Norton Brook Medical Centre
