Social prescribers can be helpful if you have are feeling lonely, isolated, or have a non-medical problem like bereavement that is affecting your health. They connect you to local services, groups and activities that can help you.
For example, this could include connecting you with local bereavement support groups, volunteering opportunities, arts activities, group learning, gardening, befriending, cookery, healthy eating advice, debt management, housing and sports.
If you need support with managing a long-term health condition such as Type 2 diabetes, with managing your weight or with your mental health, health and wellbeing coaches can give you the tools, motivation and confidence to take greater control of your life.
If you are living with a long-term condition, have complex health needs or care for someone who does, a care coordinator could help make it easier for you to understand the health system and get the support you need.
