🩵Happy Social Prescribing Day!

Not all health problems can be fixed with medicine. Sometimes, what really helps is the right support with everyday challenges.

Social Prescribing Link Workers work alongside your GP practice to support you with things that matter to you. They can help connect you to local services, community groups, and practical support tailored to your needs.

Please get in touch with reception if you think you could benefit from the support of Social Prescribing.

🌿 Celebrating Social Prescribing Day! 🌿

Yesterday we celebrating Social Prescribing Day — a chance to highlight the support available to help you live well, feel connected, and improve your overall wellbeing.

Not all health problems can be fixed with medicine. Sometimes, what really helps is the right support with everyday challenges.

Our Social Prescribing Link Workers work alongside your GP practice to support you with things that matter to you. They can help connect you to local services, community groups, and practical support tailored to your needs.

💬 You can speak to a Social Prescriber about:
• Mental health and wellbeing
• Loneliness or social isolation
• Financial or housing worries
• Carer support or bereavement
• Training, employment, or building confidence
• Managing everyday challenges affecting your health

✨ Social prescribing is free, confidential, and available to patients of all ages.

If you think this support could help you, contact your GP practice team and ask about Social Prescribing.

Let’s celebrate the power of community, connection, and personalised care today 💚

📢 Big news — From Monday 13th April we're changing how you contact the surgery! From that date, we're introducing eConsult — a simple online form that lets you tell us what's going on before we get in touch with you. This means you'll speak to the right person, first time, without spending time on hold.
Here's what's changing:
✅ Submit requests online — Monday to Friday, 7:30am–6:30pm
✅ Access via our website or the NHS App
✅ No more waiting in a phone queue just to get an appointment
✅ We'll review your request and get back to you the same day
✅ Still prefer to call? Our phone lines will remain open.
We know change can feel daunting, but this system is designed to make things quicker, simpler, and fairer for everyone at Bankfield. We've also got support available for patients who need help using it.
👉 From 13th April, visit bankfieldsurgery.org.uk or open the NHS App to submit your request. Got questions before then? Watch out for dates of the support sessions we’ll be holding prior to our go live date and we'll be happy to help. 💙

If you cannot attend your appointment, it is so important that you cancel it via the NHS app, via your text message reminder or phone the surgery. Thank you
