In GP practices, they provide structured medication reviews, resolving medication queries, and optimise medication as part of a multidisciplinary team. They also complete hospital discharges and letters. Dipali is also able to offer travel vaccinations, flu and COVID vaccinations to patients, and can offer telephone and face to face appointments to patients.
Social Prescribers
Social prescribing involves helping patients to improve their health, wellbeing and social welfare by connecting them to community services. Recognising that people’s health and wellbeing are determined mostly by a range of social, economic and environmental factors, social prescribing seeks to address people’s needs in a holistic way. It also aims to support individuals to take greater control of their own health. Patients who could benefit from social prescribing include people with mild or long-term mental health problems, people with complex needs, people who are socially isolated and those with multiple long-term conditions who frequently attend either primary or secondary health care. Speak to your GP about the referral.
