Tess Roxburgh is our CLW, and she can help you find services, organisations, groups, and activities that may help your health and wellbeing. She can offer a series of meetings and is able to chat about anything that is non-medical.
Community Link Workers use social prescribing to help you have more control over your life and the things that matter to you. Social prescribing is a way of helping you manage your wellbeing by connecting you with local resources.
Many things can affect your wellbeing including, housing, money worries and problems with your family. Tess is here to listen and help you make changes. She can put you in touch with people and activities that might help you feel better and improve your wellbeing. She can offer you short-term support with:
- Thinking about positive steps to move forward
- Finding services that you might find useful and helping you to access them
- Introducing you to groups and services, and going along with you the first few times
Anyone aged 16 or over can speak to Tess, so if this seems like something that would be helpful, you can ask anyone in the Practice Team that you're seeing to make a referral to her. Alternatively, just give our Reception Team and call and they'll also be happy to do it for you. Once Tess has your referral, she'll get in contact with you to take things forward.
