Social Prescribers – Claudia Edgeworth and Mandie Mitchell

We joined Wantage PCN in 2021 and have a background in either Social Work or previous experience of working in GP Practices. As social prescribers we are able to give people time, focusing on ‘what matters to me’ and taking a holistic approach to people’s health and wellbeing. We are able to connect people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support. Social prescribing works for a wide range of people, including those with one or more long term conditions, people who need support with their mental health, those who are lonely or isolated and those whose social needs are affecting their wellbeing. Your GP, nurse, HCA, or any member of the practice team can refer patients to us.
