💙 Not everything that affects our health can be treated with medicine alone. Challenges like loneliness, isolation, and stress often need a different kind of support.

Social Prescribing takes a holistic approach by connecting people with community services such as gardening groups, art clubs, or even debt advice. It focuses on “what matters to me,” helping individuals improve their health and wellbeing through personalised, meaningful support—not just medication.

We would like to say a huge thank you to our wonderful social prescribers, Rachel and Cass, for their hard work, compassion, and dedication to supporting our patients at Churchdown Surgery. 💙
