Social Prescribers
Social Prescribers and their Health Coach colleagues work alongside GPs complementing their work by looking at the non-clinical issues. An initial “what matter to me” assessment is carried out within 5 days of receiving the referral; to evaluate the best service and/or individual that can support the patient with their presenting issues.
Areas of support for example can be around Benefits, finances including debt, Health and wellbeing, social isolation, long term health conditions and becoming more active.
