Social Prescribing Service

What is Social Prescribing?

At Ling House Surgery we recognise that people’s health and wellbeing can be affected by a range of social, economic and environmental factors.

Social Prescribing Service empowers people with the skills and knowledge to improve their health and social wellbeing by connecting them to a range of non clinical services, available in your community.

Studies how that patients with Social Prescriptions get better and feel better faster than those treated with medicine alone.

Woman talking with medical professional

Many things affect your health and wellbeing. GPs tell us that a lot of people visit them feeling isolated, lonely or stressed by work, money and housing problems. There are lots of ways you might be part of social prescribing. It often starts with a conversation with a Social Prescriber.

They are there to listen to you, and put you in touch with the people and activities that might help you feel better.

That might mean being introduced to a community group, a new activity or a local club. It could be legal advice or volunteers to help around the house. It might be information and guidance: a bit of inside knowledge on your situation and what local resources are available.

It could even be some support to create something new such as a fishing group or gardening club.

Social prescribing focuses on the 5 ways to well-being model:

Group of people talking

  • Connect
  • Be active
  • Keep learning
  • Give
  • Be mindful
