Social prescribing

Many things affect your health and wellbeing. You might be feeling isolated or lonely or you might be stressed out by work, money and housing problems. Sometimes it is the stress of managing different long-term conditions. That is where social prescribing comes in. It starts with a conversation. It might be the conversation you’ve just had with your GP. Or with another person in the practice team. They will refer you to a social prescribing link worker. The link worker is there to listen to you and put you in touch with the people and activities that might help you to feel better. Your link worker might introduce you to a community group, a new activity or a local club. Or they might help you find legal advice or debt counselling. To discuss this further, please speak to a member of the practice team.

Macmillan support

The Macmillan support line (0808 808 00 00) is open from 8am to 8pm, seven-days-a-week, for general information, emotional or financial support.

Did you know:

  • Spotting cancer early increases the chances of survival.
  • Diagnosing cancer before it has the chance to spread too far means that treatment is more likely to be successful.

You know your body best so speak to your doctor if something doesn’t seem right.

National screening programmes can help diagnose cancers at an early stage, when treatment is more likely to be successful. Cancer screening is for those without symptoms, so if you’ve noticed a change, please don’t wait for screening – tell your doctor as soon as possible.

Whatever cancer throws your way, Macmillan is right there with you.
