| SOCIAL PRESCRIBER |
| Judith Kelf |
| Jeanie Robinson |
| GPs and other agencies can refer people, with their consent, to a Social Prescriber worker who, through shared decision making and personalised care and support planning, will give people time to focus on what matters to them so they can take greater control of their own health and mental well-being. It works well for people with long term conditions; people who are lonely or isolated, have anxiety, depression, and people who have complex social needs linked to well-being. More information is available in this leaflet. |
| CARE CO-ORDINATOR |

| June reviews patients’ needs and helps to access the services and support they require to understand and manage their own health and wellbeing, referring to social prescribing link workers, community health team, and other professionals where appropriate.
