Health and social work services

Tender description

Social prescribing provides an infrastructure which enables 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 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. This can help prevent people moving through the health and social care system being referred from one provider to another without really getting their needs addressed. NHS East Surrey CCG is seeking a provider to deliver a Well-being Prescribing Service which is able to work with clients in GP Practices and also older, high-cost clients with multiple, complex needs in their own homes, across East Surrey area. Bespoke single stage procurement process under schedule 3, PCR 2015.
