Social Prescribing – Community Referral

Social Prescribing

Many things that affect our health can’t be treated by doctors or medicine alone, like loneliness, debt, or stress due to financial pressures or poor housing.

Social prescribing connects patients to non-medical support to address these issues and other unmet needs by supporting patients with a link worker or plan, which can be a series of signposting or referrals for support in the community, to help improve a patient’s health and wellbeing.
