Lauren Woods

Social Prescriber

Introduction

My name is Lauren Woods, and I am a Social Prescriber at Walker Medical Group.

Social prescribing is about helping people with non-medical needs and giving practical and emotional support. As the name suggests, I help ‘link’ people to local community services and organisations.

I meet with people to discuss their issues and what they would like to do. Together, we set an achievable plan. We’ll then catch up regularly to see how things are progressing. This means people feel supported through the process, and I can offer advice and encouragement.
