Social Prescribing Service For PCNs

Our Social Prescribing Service for Wirral PCNs includes the recruitment, training and coordination of social prescribing related roles.

PCNs can benefit tailored solutions, including streamlined access to trained and experienced locally-based Wellbeing Practitioners (Social Prescribing Link Workers).

We have developed this service in partnership with WUTH, Macmillan Cancer Support, Wirral Council, Wirral CCG, Citizens Advice Wirral, and seeks integration with key third sector organisations, such as Age UK.

We are already successfully collaborating with local PCNs and we are looking forward to helping you too. If you would like to find out more, please get in touch!

Social Prescribing is carried out by Link Workers, who provide immediate non-clinical support and connect people to community groups and agencies with the aim of improving their health and wellbeing.

Our Social Prescribing Link Workers are formally known as Wellbeing Practitioners.

We have a growing team of Wellbeing Practitioners currently working for three local PCNs as part of their practices teams, who have successfully dealt with over 4.000 patient referrals since June 2020.
