Gender: Female

Harriet, our Social Prescriber, joined the Practice in January 2021. She deals with patients that face issues of a non-medical nature which nonetheless affect their health and well-being. The social prescribing service supports patients in addressing these needs. We may refer patients to relevant community resources or we might provide advice and advocacy where this is possible. We work with patients in tackling issues including but not restricted to: housing, welfare benefits, supportive care, loneliness, parenting, financial strain, employment, mobility, caring roles, bereavement and post-discharge care. We also address the social needs of patients living with autism, ADHD, dementia and post-treatment cancer.
