Wellbeing Service
Back To Projects & Case Studies
The service ran between 2015 – 2019.
A vibrant local scheme established to work closely with the local health and social care system, including statutory services and the private sector. Over time the service worked directly with GP surgeries, taking direct patient referrals for social and community support requests.
