Social Prescribing

Many things affect our health and wellbeing. Clinicians often see patients who are feeling isolated, lonely or stressed by things such as work, money and housing problems. Sometimes people need a little help in dealing with the things life throws at them and often they don’t know where to turn for help and support. 

That’s where social prescribing comes in. If you feel you could benefit from support from one of our social prescribers, please self-refer by completing the form via the link below.

First Contact Physiotherapist (FCP)

The role of First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) in Primary Care is to assess patients with soft tissue, muscle and joint pain and to decide on the most appropriate management pathway. FCPs are physiotherapists with expertise in the assessment and management of Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. They may also be known as Advanced Practice Physiotherapists (APP) or MSK Practitioners.

If you are unsure where to direct a patient, please discuss with your FCP and they will be happy to advise you.

The Lifestyle Club (TLC)

This is an exciting initiative for people who have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes or prediabetes, as there is strong evidence that dietary change can lead to better health outcomes including;

  • Reducing the need for diabetic medication
  • Reducing the dose for those already taking medication
  • Potentially leading to remission of diabetes altogether.

TLC offer 8-week, online courses to tell you which simple diet and lifestyle changes have the biggest impact on diabetes. Change can be difficult for all of us and TLC provide a comprehensive programme to help you get started and support you over the longer.

Please ask your GP practice to send you a link to enrol.
