If you look after someone who depends on you, you may be an unpaid carer. If you need support, social prescribing can help. Ask at your GP practice.

"...healthy lifestyles are about more than just being free from disease. General wellbeing and being part of a community are also important factors. More social prescribing is needed to support older people to find the interventions locally that could help them."

[British Geriatrics Society @GeriSoc]

Today BGS has called on @GOVUK @NHSEngland & the voluntary sector to take urgent steps towards transforming care for older people. Our new report is the result of a roundtable in June with @CMO_England and leaders from @NHSConfed @DHSCgovuk https://t.co/aselM0hOmW

Health and Wellbeing Day - 19 March at the Mayo Centre (KT1 1HZ) - for people experiencing homelessness or seeking asylum

Housing-related issues have come to dominate the referrals made to our SPLWs.

[Matt Hatton @mattthehatt]

Although my local borough has comparably low numbers of people verified as rough sleeping by outreach teams - standing at 41 in the last quarter - this only goes to highlight the extent of a nationwide problem.

Our experience with the PAC partnership programme in Kingston & Richmond shows great outcomes from the #ProactiveCare approach but more investment in #prevention & community support for people living with #frailty & #dementia is sorely needed. @NHSEnglandCHS @Ruils @SWLNHS
