GP Consultations

 

Social Prescribing

Social prescribing link workers play a key role in delivering social prescribing by giving people time, focusing on ‘what matters to me’ and taking a holistic approach to people’s health and wellbeing in order to connect them to appropriate community groups and services.

Social prescribing link workers play a pivotal role by developing trusting relationships and providing personalised support. As a result, their work:

  • strengthens community resilience
  • reduces health inequalities by addressing the wider determinants of health, such as debt, poor housing and physical inactivity
  • increases people’s active involvement with their local communities

Social prescribing link workers also support existing community groups to be accessible and sustainable, and help people to start new groups, working collaboratively with all local partners.

 

Physiotherapy

We have a Practice Physiotherapist available to deliver face-to-face physiotherapy as well as telephone consultations for advice and treatment.
