Social Prescribers

Social Prescribers are able to assist with non-medical problems by identifying needs and finding solutions by putting the patient in touch with the most appropriate organisation to help. Social Prescribers have a firm understanding of the range of options and local services available to patients. This may include signposting to community groups or voluntary workers.

Frailty Team

Our new Frailty Team will be working collaboratively within the community providing comprehensive personalised care to residents of care homes and nursing homes with an aspiration that this will develop into proving this service for residents still living at home. The aim or the service is to move away from traditional reactive models of care to a service providing proactive management plans for residents with complex care needs.
