Our team can help improve your health and wellbeing.
The Health & Wellbeing Team offer a holistic, non-judgmental approach by focusing on what matters to you.
Social Prescribing and Health & Wellbeing Coaching are short-term NHS services that provide the kind of help that doesn't come in a tube or bottle.
The team can give you the time to talk about what's affecting your health and wellbeing. This is done at your own pace to help you find the tools to make positive changes.
We cover Albany Surgery, Bovey Tracey & Chudleigh Practice and Kingskerswell & Ipplepen Health Centre.

Social Prescribing
Social Prescribing helps to improve health and wellbeing by connecting you to activities and services in your community.
Social prescribing could help if:
- you are feeling lonely or isolated
- you are living with mild to moderate anxiety or depression
- you would like to be more active
- you have financial, employment or housing worries
- you have caring responsibilities
- you are facing family or relationship issues
- you would like a referral to our Health & Wellbeing coaches
Health & Wellbeing Coaching
If you are experiencing low motivation which prevents you making positive changes to your health and wellbeing, then coaching may be for you.
Health & Wellbeing Coaching could help if:
- you are living with, or at risk of developing a long term health condition and would benefit from making some changes.
- you would like support in setting lifestyle goals, such as healthy eating and exercise
- you are struggling with anxiety, low mood or stress which interferes with your daily life
- you are feeling 'stuck in a rut' and would like support in setting goals around future choices.
