Patients can now benefit from two services aimed at helping you help yourself with a range of structured support – they are our Social Prescribers (Live Well Wakefield) and our Health and Wellbeing Coaches. Both teams are here to offer information advice and support. Your social prescribing link worker would help to signpost you to a range of relevant services to help you with things like weight management, social isolation and debt support. These are most often non-medical issues that you are facing and you could well be facing more than one at once.
