A community approach
to health & wellbeing
How does it work?
Social Prescribing acts as link between the health service and the community.
|
|
GP’s refer patients to the community for non-medical support |
|
|
Patients receive 1-1 community support for a range of social, emotional or practical needs |
|
|
Empowers people to make decisions about their own health and connects them to suitable programmes and services in the community such as; social cafes, yoga classes, counselling sessions, swimming lessons and many more |
|
|
A digital platform is at the core of the project which connects GPs, patients and services, leading to better outcomes for people and communities |
|
|
Community approach to health and wellbeing which makes a difference to peoples lives |
|
|
Aims to reduce the number of patients making unnecessary appointments to their GP, ultimately taking pressure off NHS services |
