Alternative Solutions is a “one-to-one” support service at your GP Practice for people aged 18+ who might have health and wellbeing concerns as a consequence of non-medical issues. You might want to come and speak to us about anything that matters to you, for example:

• Lifestyle factors – exercise, stopping smoking
• Social factors – isolation, loneliness, bereavement, housing
• Confidence factors – positivity, anxiety or depression
• Money factors – eligibility for benefits or your entitlements as a carer
• Work factors – volunteering or getting back into the workplace
• Community factors – wanting to engage more with your community

The service is available in your GP Practice, further details are available by clicking on the Social Prescription link.
