Social Prescribers

We currently have two Social Prescribers who are based at Garstang Medical Practice.

Our Social Prescribers work with patients by discussing any social, emotional or practical issues they may be facing, explore what is important to them, agree goals, source appropriate local activities and services and help patients access them.  

Services offered include health and lifestyle advice, money management including debt and benefit advice, guidance towards social and leisure groups, help with housing and independent living, and also just a listening ear.  

For more information about the service they provide, please see our Social Prescribing Service page.
