Social prescribing
Social Prescribing is an approach that connects people to activities, groups, and services in their community to meet the practical, social and emotional needs that affect their health and wellbeing. It is an all-age, whole population approach that works well for people who:
- Have one or more long term health conditions
- Need support with low level mental health issues
- Are feeling lonely or isolated
- Have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing
Our two Primary Care Networks, K2 Sleaford and Grantham & Rural, have a dedicated team of Social Prescribing Link Workers, who can work with GP practices to support you.
If you would like more information about Social Prescribing or to be referred to a Social Prescribing Link Worker, you can speak to your GP practice.
