What is social prescribing?

Connecting people to community, not just clinical care

Social prescribing is an approach that enables GPs, nurses, and other primary care professionals to refer people to a range of local, non-clinical services. Rather than treating loneliness and isolation with medication alone, social prescribing links people to community groups, activities, and befriending services that address the root causes of poor wellbeing. The Healing Hubs is a recognised social prescribing provider — our services can be accessed directly or through a referral from your GP or healthcare team.

GP & healthcare referrals

Ask your GP, nurse, or social worker to refer you directly to The Healing Hubs.
