Social prescribing is when residents are linked to local community groups and services to enable them to develop skills and confidence to improve their self care and tackle the social causes of ill health and wellbeing. Who is social prescribing for? The service is for all adults (18+) who are North Lincolnshire residents in need of information, advice and support to cope with everyday life.

Social prescribing focuses on:

• Supporting people to cope with their long-term conditions; or those of someone they may care for; increasing independence to enable and empower people to self-manage their own health and wellbeing
• Reducing social isolation; supporting those who are feeling lonely and looking for social opportunities to get more involved in the community
• Signposting people with social, emotional or practical needs to a range of local services, often provided by the voluntary and community sector
• Promoting a holistic approach to health and wellbeing by focusing on the wider determinants of health and supporting people to access relevant services e.g., housing, welfare advice and employment programmes, as well as health promotion services such as smoking cessation and physical activity.

Benefits of providing this service
Many people go to their GPs as a familiar route to seek help, but often the problem is not just a medical need – this is when the social prescribing route will be offered. Evaluations of local social prescribing schemes have reported reduced pressure on NHS services, with reductions in GP consultations, A&E attendances and hospital bed stays for people who have received social prescribing support.

How do I access social prescribing?
Speak to your GP practice staff who will be able to directly refer you to a social prescribing link worker.

The NHS App is a simple and secure way of accessing a range of NHS services on their smartphone or tablet. It was developed to help people in England get more information about their health and care – and more control of how they use NHS services. You can use the app to: get your NHS COVID Pass order repeat prescriptions get health advice view your health record register your organ donation decision find out how the NHS uses your data view your NHS number. Most patients will not need to visit their GP practice to set up a login for the app, but can prove their identity in the app and create their NHS login. The app can be downloaded to a smart phone or tablet via Google Play or the Apple app store. You need to be 16 or over to use the NHS COVID Pass service and registered with an NHS GP practice in England. If you don’t have access to a computer or smartphone and have been fully vaccinated, you can call 119 for a copy of the NHS COVID Pass letter (not your GP Practice). It can take up to 5 working days for your letter to reach you. If you have any further questions visit www.nhs.uk or call 119.

The current NHS Digital (NHSD) extract of GP data for Research purposes (known as the GPDPR) has been delayed due to NHSD wishing to review the way in which this data will be collected, to conduct more public involvement and information about the plans and change the way in which patients can opt out of the extract of their GP data.
