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

• If a person would like some support to improve their wellbeing, a referral can be made to Healthy Futures by the surgery or you can self-refer by contacting  Healthy Futures themselves.
• The person referred will be contacted by a Link Worker.  They will listen them, help to identify what matters to them and what their goals are to improve their wellbeing. 
• The Link Worker will work alongside them over a number of appointments to provide ongoing support and encouragement to reach goals and improve wellbeing.
• The Link Worker will support them to access local organisations and activities.
