Social Prescribing - North East Two PCN

About this service: SOCIAL PRESCRIBING

Social prescribers are health professionals based in GP practices. We work closely with GP's to assist patients with their non-medical needs. We do this by helping them identify, 'what matters to them'. Working collaboratively to create a plan, which may include referrals into local services and organisations within the community. Our hope is for pateints to have a better quality of life. Ultimately supporting them to improve their overall health and wellbeing, via connecting them to community groups and statutory services for support. For example; social groups like games club, financial and benefit advisors, gardening clubs, sport programmes and much more.

  • Dr Sathyajith’s Practice
  • Shrewsbury Road Surgery
  • Wordsworth Health Centre
