A message from our Social Prescriber, Shannon Worth:
What is social prescribing?
Social prescribing is not a new idea, but the power given to social prescribers to help make a difference is. There are a lot of factors that affect our health and wellbeing. I am able to work alongside the doctors and other healthcare professionals linked to the surgery to help you to access non-medical support that is available in the local community. I am able to help you to identify what is important to you and support you to form links with local community services and sources of help.
My aim is to empower you to take control of your life, to be involved in decisions made about your care, and to ensure that you have the knowledge to know where to turn to for help and support.
