Social prescribing is a growing movement that connects people with a range of non-clinical programmes, services and events in their local community – like walking groups, mental health counselling, debt management advice, employability skills, volunteering, family fitness, healthy cooking programmes, mindfulness sessions, and the ‘green prescription’ of gardening and food growing.

Social Prescribing
Our Team are passionate about supporting our patients in living healthy and happy lives and we, therefore, promote social prescribing as a way of linking our patients with other services that may help them.
Our patients can also book to see a social prescriber called Maria who attends the Practice from our local Primary Care Network (PCN). To book an appointment please speak to Reception.
What is Social Prescribing?
A growing movement
A service that goes beyond the GPs prescription pad
Designed to support people with a wide range of social, emotional or practical needs.
It seeks to address people’s needs across a number of areas such as physical activity, diet and nutrition, mental health and social support. It is often referred to as a ‘more than medicine’ approach to health and wellbeing based on the fact that the majority of long term conditions can be prevented by lifestyle change alone.
