Hi. My name is Josephina and I am your Social Prescriber at Village Surgery.
Social Prescribing is a holistic approach to healthcare that connects patients with non-medical services and community resources to improve their overall health and well-being. It recognises that good health is influenced by various social factors such as lifestyle, environment, and community support.
With a Social Prescriber you can get support with any non-medical issues. These include:
- Benefits advice (including PIP)
- Housing and homelessness
- Drugs/Alcohol support
- Smoking cessation
- Exercise and healthy lifestyles
- Food poverty
- Debt advice
From finding local support groups to suggesting activities that promote mental and physical health, I am here to help you explore opportunities to enhance your overall health and well-being.
