Social Prescribing - Tavistock Area

Social Prescribing

Social prescribers (Wellbeing Co-ordinators) work within the area covered by the GP practices in West Devon Primary Care Network. (Bere Alston, Lifton, Princetown, Tavistock, Yelverton). We work closely with GPs to assist patients with their non-medical needs. We do this by helping them identify, 'what matters to them'. Working collaboratively to create a care plan, which may include referrals to local services and organisations within the community.

Our hope is for patients 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, sports programmes and much more.
