Social prescribing
What is social prescribing?
Social prescribing looks to address different aspects of your health and wellbeing. It is a non-clinical approach that links you to local activities, community groups, information, and practical advice. This support can help you address the social, emotional, and economic factors that impact your overall health and wellbeing.
A social prescribing link worker offers guidance and time to help you take control of your health journey and focus on what truly matters to you.
Who can access social prescribing?
If you are 18 or older and looking for ways to improve your health and wellbeing, local prescribing services might be right for you.
