Today, weโ€™re proud to celebrate Happy Social Prescribing Day at New Seaham Medical Group ๐Ÿ’™

Social prescribing is all about looking beyond medical needs and supporting the whole person, helping individuals connect with services, activities, and support within their community to improve their health and wellbeing.

Our Social Prescriber plays a vital role in:

โœจ Supporting patients with non-medical needs
โœจ Reducing loneliness and isolation
โœจ Connecting people to local groups, services, and opportunities
โœจ Empowering individuals to take control of their wellbeing

We are incredibly grateful for the compassion, dedication, and impact our Social Prescribers brings to both our patients and our community every single day.

Thank you for making a difference ๐Ÿ’™

Take the First Step Towards a Smoke-Free Life

Today is National No Smoking Day, a great opportunity for anyone thinking about quitting smoking to take that first step towards a healthier future.

The good news is you donโ€™t have to do it alone. There is free support available to help you quit and stay smoke-free:

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Talk to your Smoking Advisor in your Surgery

๐ŸŒ Visit: Breathe โ€“ Stop Smoking Service for expert advice and support

๐Ÿ“ฑ Download: The NHS Smokefree App to track your progress, manage cravings, and see how much money youโ€™re saving.

Small steps can make a big difference. Whether youโ€™re ready to quit today or just thinking about it, support is available for you and your loved ones.

๐Ÿ’™ Our team at New Seaham Medical Group is here to support our patients and community on their journey to better health.
