Social Prescribing
Social Prescribing Service Overview
Healthy Futures works with 6 Primary Care Networks in Plymouth covering 33 GP surgeries.
They work with patients who would like support to access activities and services in the community to improve their health and wellbeing.
They are funded by Primary Care Networks, Plymouth City Council and the Department of Health.
What they offer
