Social prescribing
If you have a long term health condition or any unmet social needs, you may be interested in self referring to the Social Prescribing service, at your local GP Surgery.
Aims of the course
We know that people's health is largely determined by a range of factors. Social prescribing looks to address people's needs in a holistic way and aims to support individuals to take greater control of their own health.
Type of course
Social prescribing schemes can involve lots of activities which are usually provided by voluntary and community sector organisations. Examples include volunteering, arts activities, group learning, gardening, befriending, cookery, healthy eating advice and a range of sports.
How to access the course
Please contact the GP Surgery to access your Social Prescribing service.
