Support with social, financial, mental health and practical challenges.
While your GP and practice nurse offer treatments for medical issues, they often don’t have time to explore other types of support with their patients. This is where our Community Link Workers come in.
We have Community Link workers in very GP practice across Renfrewshire. Although they aren’t part of the NHS, we work closely with GPs and other practice staff. We can help with challenges such as:
Registered with a GP in Renfrewshire and
Age 16 or over
Speak to your GP receptionist or
If you have a disability, are neurodiverse or English is not your first language, let us know and we will work out how best to support you.
You'll find a warm welcome and free non-judgemental support and advice from our Community Links workers.
Our Community Link Workers are friendly, non-judgemental people who will listen to you and offer you support, whatever challenges you are facing.
You can expect to have up to four meetings with us. These can be face to face, over the phone or via a video link – whatever works for you.
Community Link Workers will always be guided by your goals and priorities. You’ll be able to take things at your own pace and you’ll never have to do anything you don’t feel comfortable with.
We won't share your information with anyone else unless:
you give us permission
we're concerned about your safety or the safety of someone else
You'll find us at every local GP practice in Renfrewshire.
