Social Prescribing Service Overview

Healthy Futures works with 6 Primary Care Networks in Plymouth covering 33 GP surgeries.   

We work with patients who would like support to access activities and services in the community to improve their health and wellbeing. 

What we offer

• If a patient would like some support to improve their wellbeing, their surgery can make a referral to Healthy Futures.
• We will invite the person referred to meet with a Link Worker. They will listen to them, help to identify what matters to them and what type of support they would like. 
• The Link Worker will work alongside them to create a plan to help them reach goals and improve wellbeing. 
• The Link Worker will support them to access local organisations and activities.
• For more information about what we can help with and how to be referred to the service, please get in touch by phoning us on 01752 203673 or 07305 492193 or email healthyfutures@wolseley-trust.org.

What are Wellbeing Hubs?

Plymouth's Wellbeing Hubs have four main aims

• To improve the health and wellbeing outcomes for local people
• To reduce inequalities in health and wellbeing
• To improve people's experience of care 
• To improve the sustainability of the health and wellbeing system

We also work in partnership with a range of organisations in the city who can provide additional health and wellbeing support

The generic offer of every hub includes health advocacy, debt advice, mental health support, opportunities to volunteer, employment advice, signposting of local and citywide providers of health services. 

The hubs are a key part of the city's One System, One Aim vision which looks to transform care by taking a different approach.

• From patients to people - the hubs will be designed to engage with people recognising they have strengths and assets and with support can achieve outcomes without being viewed as patients who need things doing to them
• From care settings to places and communities - the hubs will be a place and community-based offer and will help to develop communities that care
• From what's the matter with you to what matters to you - the plan is to focus on the assets of individuals and build on that to achieve the things they want to achieve
• From illness management to wellness support - the focus is on prevention and wellbeing
