Social prescribing Link Workers are present in surgeries across the Wirral to help patients identify and link with sources of support within the community. These non-medical referral options can complement existing medical treatments to improve health and wellbeing.
Social Prescribing Link Workers are not medical professionals but have been specially trained to work alongside GPs and other clinical roles to ensure people get the care and support they need.

The role of a Social Prescribing Link Worker is to give people a chance to talk, listen to them carefully, offer emotional and practical support and provide them with the advice, information and support they need whatever their worries, questions or concerns.
If you would like to speak to a Social Prescriber, please enquire at your next appointment, via PATCHS or by calling into the practice and giving your details to our Medical Receptionist.
We are here to help. ☺️ Wirral Social Prescribing Scheme
