Social Prescribing
How to access Social Prescribing, an individual can contact their GP Practice and if the GP Practice provide the service, you are added to a waiting list and wait to be contacted by their Social Prescriber.
What is Social Prescribing?
Social Prescribing is a key component of Universal Personalised Care. It is an approach that connects people to activities, groups, and services in their community to meet the practical, social and emotional needs that affect their health and well-being.
In social prescribing, local agencies such as local charities, social care and health services refer people to a social prescribing link worker. Social Prescribing link workers give people time, focusing on ‘what matters to me?’ to co-produce a simple personalised care and support plan and support people to take control of their health and well-being.
Social Prescribing Link Workers also support existing community groups to be accessible and sustainable plus support people to start new groups, working collaboratively with all local partners.
Social prescribing is an all-age, whole population approach that works particularly well for people who:
- have one or more long term conditions
- who need support with low level mental health issues
- who are lonely or isolated
- who have complex social needs which affect their well-being.
