Social Prescribing for Patients

Robinson And Partners • 30 September 2019

A New Service available for people in need

As part of the Newcastle North Primary Care Network, the surgery now have a social prescriber to help you.

Social Prescribing explained:
If you have a problem that is not medical, social prescribing a way of helping you to connect to support that will help you to find ways to do something about it and feel more in control and part your community.

What you can expect:
Your GP practice can refer you to your social prescriber for a range of support services. A face to face appointment for you to meet with your social prescriber will be made at a practice and time that is convenient to you. You will have time to discuss what is important and helpful to you.

Two reception classes from Thursfield Primary School recently visited the surgery as part of their education where they are learning about jobs in the community. The children learnt about the various roles of staff at the surgery. Not only did the visit help them understand more about the jobs at the surgery but it will also hopefully help them feel less anxious when they have to visit the surgery to see the doctor or the nurse in future. They had a great time Role-playing alongside the staff. You can see the pictures by clicking here .
