Job summary
Shape the Future of Primary Care in North East Derbyshire!
Are you a motivated Social Prescribing Link Worker looking to make a meaningful impact in your community? Do you thrive in collaborative environments where your support empowers patients and helps shape more personalised approaches to care?
Main duties of the job
Work within the PCN multidisciplinary team (including GPs, pharmacists, paramedics, care coordinators etc) to support patients to improve their health and wellbeing by connecting them to non-medical community-based services.
Provide personalised support to individuals, families and carers to take control of their health and wellbeing, with a focus on supporting patients with complex social needs, long-term conditions, and those at risk of health inequalities.
Take referrals from Core Network Practices and a wide range of agencies and manage these through to completion.
Use a holistic approach based on what matters to the person and the wider determinants of health, and co-produce a simple personalised care and support plan with patients.
About us
NED PCN is an organisational group of four proactive GP practices in North East Derbyshire. The Practices are Barlborough Medical Practice, Killamarsh Medical Practice, The Springs Medical Partnership and The Valleys Medical Partnership.
NED PCN is a relatively small PCN with just over 40,000 patients. We feel that this makes us big enough to develop a successful team but small enough to be an approachable, friendly place to be.
The NHS Long Term Plan describes the prominent role Primary Care Networks play in delivering proactive, personalised and more integrated health and social care for their local populations. This will require collaborative working between organisations including GP practices, acute and community health, social care organisations and the voluntary and community sector.
Core practices opening hours of 8:00am 6:30pm Monday to Friday each week.
