Social Prescribing

Your health and wellbeing can be affected by things beyond medical care. Social prescribing helps you find support with everyday difficulties, such as loneliness, money worries or housing concerns.

A social prescriber takes time to listen and can connect you with local groups, activities and organisations offering practical or emotional support.

Oxford City Primary Care helps coordinate social prescribing across Oxford City, with the support itself provided through GP practices.

Support available

• Connecting you with local groups, befriending services and social activities.
• Helping you find organisations that offer advice on money, benefits or housing.
• Providing information about local activities, courses and community support.

Finding support

Speak to your GP practice to find out about social prescribing and how to access support. Appointments cannot be booked through this website.
