The Greater Shankill Health & Wellbeing Forum launched its leaflet on 'Social Prescribing' at Ballygomartin GP Practice last week. Social prescribing is a way of linking people with non-medical sources of support within the community. This can include physical activity, social groups, education, self help, counselling, parenting support, complimentary therapies, financial or parenting advice.
The leaflet demonstrates how GPs and Community Service providers can work together to help support people with their health issues in a more holistic way.
You can get a copy of the leaflet from GSP, or download an electronic copy here.
