Contacting Your GP

For general health concerns or to discuss your falls risk and prevention strategies, your GP can provide guidance and referrals. They may suggest a referral to services such as Community Therapy, Social Services, or community exercise groups.

Social Prescribing

Did you know that your GP Practice also has a service called Social Prescribing? Social Prescribers can support and advise on non-health-related issues, such as stress, loneliness and debt. They can also help you connect or signpost to local support services, activities, or groups. To access this service, contact your GP surgery and request a referral.

Support with Medication

For advice or support about medication and falls risk, speak with your GP or a community pharmacist. Remember, it’s important to have your medication reviewed regularly.

Social Services

Consider contacting social services if:

• You are struggling with day-to-day living at home, and you feel you might need care support
• You have a long-term health condition and think you need major home adaptations
