COMMUNITY LINK WORKER

A Community Link Worker (CLW) is a social practitioner who is part of the primary care team based at your GP Practice.  A CLW is not a nurse or a doctor but they can work with you to improve your wellbeing and connect you into services in the community.

They can spend time talking about what really matters to you

They can look at ways to solve any problems or issues you are expecting, this could be help with finances, benefits, housing, feeling lonely or anxious or something else.

They can work with you to set goals that you would like to achieve

They keep up to date with what is happening locally so you know about new services and resources in the community

They will also look at ways to support you going to services if this is needed
