Support with accessing health and social care services

We can help people get the health and social care services they need and will support them through the processes involved – correspondence, telephone calls, meetings with care professionals.

We can accompany people to appointments, eg to the GP or hospital, help them to understand what is being said and to communicate their needs and help them with follow up appointments, getting prescriptions etc. We have befrienders who speak Bengali, Sylheti and Somali who can support people with language needs.
