Community Link Workers
We now have a team of 4 Community Link Workers who provide a Social Prescribing service for the whole of Wansbeck PCN, which includes our surgery.
If you have something non-medical which is worrying you and causing you stress and anxiety, then our Link Worker will be able to help you along your journey to wellness.
They can offer advice and link you to voluntary, statutory, and community-based services, groups & activities to help you obtain the practical, emotional, and social support you need.
The common issues the Link Worker can advise on are: Isolation, Finance, Employment, Healthy lifestyle, Adult Learning & volunteering, Housing, Bereavement, Family problems, Parenting issues, Domestic violence and more. Please click HERE for a short animation which further explains about Social Prescribing.
If you feel you would benefit from speaking with our Link Worker Team, then just ask at Reception or your Healthcare professional for a Community Link Worker Referral and either Jane, Linda, Christine, or Carly will be in touch.
