Social Prescribing Service – self referrals reopen
We can confirm that following a slight pause in self referrals to the Social Prescrtibing service being available, as of 19/07/2025, the Social Prescribing Team are once again now accepting self referrals for patients who feel they may need additional support.
Social Prescribers
We support patients who are experiencing non-medical challenges, which are in turn having an effect on their overall health and well-being. We help you explore what matters to you and link you in with services that may be better suited to your needs.
We cannot solve your problems for you, but together we can help you take a step in the right direction. We are able to support you over a series of 6 sessions.
Some examples of areas we can support with:
- Employment
- Financial issues
- Accessing support as an unpaid carer
- Dementia support
- Bereavement
- Linking you in with groups and courses to support your mental well-being
- Issues with housing
- Finding a purpose and joining local groups

To self refer to the Social Prescribing service, please email the SP team on cwicb.kw.socialprescribing@nhs.net – please note, there maybe a short waiting list for self referrals to the SP service.
