Ella Fairbrother is the Pennine GP Alliance Social Prescribing and Care Coordination Lead for Lower Calder Valley PCN and a Personalised Care Institute Ambassador
“I started the level 3 Social Prescribing course a few months into being promoted to Personalised Care Team Lead within the Lower Calder Valley PCN of Calderdale, having been a Social Prescribing Link Worker within Pennine GP Alliance for two and a half years.
The course is giving me fresh ideas to take back to my team such as reviewing current supervision offers and utilising population health data to proactively find patients who may be appropriate for social prescribing support. It is also beneficial to link with others outside of your region to gain perspective and reflect on your service along with sharing good practice.
I hope that the ideas I have shared will help others who are also completing the Level 3 course."
This course was funded from the personalised care programme at West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership
