Taking care of your health involves more than just medicine and that is why we work in partnership with the South Waveney Primary Care Network to provide a range of social prescribing support via local GP's in Kessingland, Bungay, Beccles, Halesworth and Reydon.
Our Link Workers focus on ‘what matters to the client’ and take a holistic approach to people’s health and wellbeing. They connect people to community groups and statutory services for
practical and emotional support.
Our team can help you with a range of issues, including:
Lots of things have a negative impact on health and wellbeing, including lack of money. poor education, quality of housing, low self-esteem, isolation, relationship difficulties, and both physical and mental health
problems. It is estimated that 20-40% of patients consult their GP for primarily social problems, including social welfare advice. A 10-minute GP consultation isn’t enough to cover multiple health conditions – let
