Moving Back Home for Summer ?

Where has this University year gone?

Did you know you can stay registered with us over summer, if you need medical help please contact us through PATCHS, you can also request repeat medication through PATCHS – dont forget to tell us which chemist you would like your medication sending to.

If you have completed your final year at Uni i am afraid you will need to re – register with a NEW GP. If you are staying in SALFORD you can transfer to our main site Langworthy Medical Practice – just give us a ring or request the transfer to Langworthy on PATCHS.

Social Prescribing

Community Connectors

Social prescribing, sometimes called a community referral, is a means of enabling GPs, nurses and other primary care professionals to refer people to a range of local, non-clinical services.

Recognising that people’s health is determined primarily 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.

Social prescribing schemes can involve a variety of activities which are typically provided by voluntary and community sector organisations. Examples include volunteering, arts activities, group learning, gardening, befriending, cookery, healthy eating advice and a range of sports.

We have started working with BIG LIFE If this is something you feel you would benefit from, you can contact them yourself, or ask your GP for a referral.

Please get in touch via PATCHS if this is something you would be interested in.
