Would you like to find out more on what support is available to you to help with your health and wellbeing goals?
Social prescribing is a way of connecting people to non-medical support and resources within their community to improve their health and wellbeing. St Andrews Medical Centre has a dedicated Community Connector who can support you with non-medical, lifestyle and social needs. This could be finding out what support is out there in your community and choose from a menu of options tailored to you. This could be connecting to social and creative activities, engage in healthy lifestyle behaviours such as physical activity and moving more, connecting to communities of identity and experience, learning a new skill or prepare for employment at your pace, volunteering and much more to improve your health and wellbeing.
Please speak to your GP reception team for a referral to Wellbeing Matters Social Prescribing.
