Social Prescribing Link Workers

What is Social Prescribing?

Social prescribing involves helping patients to improve their health, wellbeing and social welfare by connecting them to community services which might be run by the council or a local charity. For example, signposting people who have been diagnosed with dementia to local dementia support groups.

Social prescribing activities are community focused and may include arts and crafts, skills workshops, volunteering opportunities, social inclusion activities including friendship building and getting connected within the community, physical exercise and nutrition, support with employment, housing, money management and debt advice.

Our Social Prescribing Link Workers will focus on working towards personal aims through signposting to external specialist support networks.
