Social Prescribing Link worker
Link Workers are trained professionals working alongside GPs. They are able to refer and signpost you to the appropriate care and support that you need. A Link Worker will give you time to talk about what is important to you, and support and empower you to access the most appropriate services for your needs. Examples of what they can help you with are:
- money advice – benefits, debt and budgeting
- healthy lifestyle advice and physical activity
- education and learning
- housing and welfare
- access to community activities
- befriending
- counselling
- employment
- training
- volunteering
To access our support please contact the practice and request a call back from our Link workers – Alistair Crammond.
