Meet the Social Prescribers!

The 9th of March marked Social Prescribing Day which is an annual celebration of social prescribing; recognising link workers, local community groups and regional and national organisations which support people’s health and wellbeing.

Message from our team:
"Our Social Prescribing team have been working for Christchurch Primary Care Network (which includes Highcliffe Medical Centre, Christchurch Medical Practice, Stour Surgery and Farmhouse Surgery) for 3 years. In that time we have worked with many people in the local area offering support with increasing their social activities, signposting for advice with benefits, housing, advocacy, domestic abuse, physical health activities, employment and volunteering. We work closely with community groups and charitable organisations who provide invaluable support to local people. Our team have an extensive background working within nursing, occupational therapy, sports psychology and in the charitable sector. We are passionate about finding out what matters to you and working together to find the support you need to live the best life you can. Please contact reception if you would like us to get in touch with you."
