Blyth, United Kingdom Railway Medical Group Full time

Social Prescribing is a means of enabling frontline healthcare professionals to refer patients to a wide range of non-clinical programmes, services and events in their local community, where they can learn about the possibilities and design their own personalised solutions, i.e. co-produce their social prescription. It seeks to address a patients needs across several areas such as physical activity, diet and nutrition, mental health and social support. It is often referred to as a more than medicine approach to health and wellbeing as it is considered that many long term conditions can be helped by lifestyle change alone.

The post-holder will support patients to access health care, community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support. You will work (under direction) with the Practice Team to support patients with their health choices, strengthen community and personal resilience, reduce health and wellbeing inequalities by addressing the wider factors of health such as debt, poor housing, social isolation, poor diet and physical inactivity. The post holder will act within professional boundaries and seek advice or refer to colleagues when appropriate. The Practice has a commitment to excellent patient care, quality improvement and teaching.

It is expected that all members of our clinical team are actively committed to supporting these aims and participate in relevant activities when appropriate.
