Social prescribing- People living with cancer have varied needs and cancer can affect all aspects of life, from relationships to work or finance. Your GP or practice nurse can refer you to a team called social prescribers who can then provide you with practical advice and help you to access non-clinical local services to help support you with some of these needs.
To access social prescribing please ask your GP or practice nurse to make a referral.
