Social Prescribing

Social Prescribing Link Workers are based in GP surgeries and employed by York CVS. Social prescribers work closely with the NHS and other health and care services, to provide support that helps improve your health and wellbeing.

Often, people go to their GP for what is primarily a social issue (eg. loneliness, isolation, financial problems). Social prescribing helps provide people with an alternative to medical intervention, connecting them to support in their local community and across the city. You can find more information about what they offer and how to get in touch or on York CVS.
