Social Prescribing Service - South Somerset West PCN

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 most to them'. Working collaboratively we create a care plan, which may include referrals into 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 clubs, financial and benefit advisors, gardening clubs, sport programmes and much more.
