Advice on Prescription
We are delivering the Advice on Prescription project in partnership with clusters of GP surgeries, known as Primary Care Networks.
The Advice on Prescription project aims to bring together primary care and the voluntary sector, creating an integrated service that meets the diverse needs of patients. Our goal is to enhance health, wellbeing and resilience while reducing deprivation.
We offer personalised 1-to-1 advice sessions over the phone. Whether it’s navigating benefits, housing or employment issues, our team is here to help. Additionally, we can facilitate referrals to our other services, helping with challenges like debt management and Help to Claim Universal Credit.
Patients can access our services through referral from their GP or Social Prescriber. Alternatively, they can book their own appointment by scanning a QR code or following a link displayed on posters within participating surgeries.
Currently, we’re actively working with four Primary Care Networks:
- Daybrook Medical Practise
- The Ivy Medical Group
- Peacock Healthcare
- Plains View Surgery
- Unity Surgery
- Westdale Lane Surgery
- The Calverton Practise
- Highcroft Surgery
- Stenhouse Medical Centre
- Jubilee Park Medical Partnership
- Trentside Medical Group
- West Oak Surgery
