Springfield Medical Centre is proud to have a dedicated social prescriber as part of the team.

Social prescribing is a way for local agencies to refer people to a link worker. Link workers give people time, focusing on ‘what matters to me’ and taking a holistic approach to people’s health and wellbeing. They connect people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support.

Social prescribing works for a wide range of people, including people:

• with one or more long-term conditions
• who need support with their mental health
• who are lonely or isolated
• who have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing

Our dedicated social prescriber is Ms Dawn Malcom.

If you feel you need support or would like to discuss social issues, then, please contact us at the surgery and ask to be referred to Dawn Malcom
