Mr Cliff Mcmahon-Docherty- Social Prescriber (m)
Social prescribers are health professionals based in GP Practices. We work closely with GPs to assist patients with their non-medical needs. We do this by helping them identify, 'what matters to them'. Working collaboratively to create a plan, which may include referrals into local services and organisations within the community. Our hope is for patients to have a better quality of life. Ultimately supporting them to improve their overall health and overall wellbeing, via connecting them to community groups and statutory services for support. For example: social groups like game clubs, financial and benefit advisors, gardening clubs, sport programmes and much more. |
