What is Social Prescribing

Social prescribing is a way of engaging patients in primary care with a resource which provides support within the local community.

In addition, it provides GPs with a non-medical referral option that can complement existing treatments and help improve a patient's overall health and wellbeing.

People want to be able to access information and support in a setting that is convenient and familiar to them, delivered by people they trust.

The Social Prescribing Link Worker will work alongside patients to identify what matters most to them, supporting them to access local services, community groups and activities that can help address their wider health and wellbeing needs.

The role will offer support in a clinic environment based within general practice, as well as at various locations within the community, including patients' homes where appropriate.

The successful candidate will be confident in having person-centred conversations, managing a varied caseload and building strong working relationships with patients, practice staff and community partners.

The role will provide information and support to patients, whilst acting as a link between the patient, GP and other service providers.

The role will require managing and prioritising your own caseload in accordance with the needs, priorities and any urgent support required by individuals.
