Social prescribing is a way of linking patients or community members in primary care with sources of group support within the community, all via a Link Worker. Connecting individuals with local organisations and groups has potential to impact not only directly on the individual’s mental and physical health but also indirectly through increased social contacts, improved access to services and ultimately improved social networks within the community. It also provides medical professionals with non-medical referral options that can operate alongside existing treatments.
Our Ways to Wellness Community Link Worker will work with your patient to assist them identify activities they might be interested in and together, connect them with local classes, social groups and clubs within the community.
The Community Link Worker will meet with your patient to learn about their lifestyle and interests and together identify activities that will enable and support them to reach their health and wellbeing goals.
