Patient talking to GP

What is social prescribing? 

Social prescribing is a way of enabling patients with emotional, practical, or social needs to access a range of non-clinical services, which are often provided by the local voluntary and community sector. GPs and other health care professionals can refer a patient to self-care support, advice and wellbeing activities. 

A social prescriber (also called a social prescribing link worker) spends time with the patient that has been referred. They will agree a plan to help improve the patient’s health and wellbeing. Time spent with each patient depends on their needs. 

What is this survey about? 

Healthwatch Bromley would like to assess current use of social prescribing  in the London Borough of Bromley.We will use the responses and further research to produce a report that will share key findings and make recommendations for improvements to the service for the benefit of patients, carers and the workforce.
