We are community-focused, priding ourselves on our work with our Practice Health Champions;
- Angela our Health Care Assistant
- Adele our patient support team member
- Our Nursing Team
They meet regularly to discuss ways in which we can further strengthen and diversify our social prescribing initiatives. Some of our existing initiatives – developed in collaboration with some of our colleagues in the community (Wigan Council – Bewell) – include community walks, coffee and a natter, and Warm Space available daily. These initiatives have been immensely popular amongst our patients and form an invaluable part of our social prescribing.
Walk & Talk – Event Pictures
Come and join us for our Wednesday Walk & Talk!
Come join us on the second Wednesday of each month and the last Wednesday of each month for a leisurely walk around the Scotsman’s flash – suitable for all abilities with support from our Practice Health Champions.
Join us afterwards from 1pm onwards at the practice for a chat with a friendly face from the surgery, our Practice Health Champions who will be there if you wish to discuss any concerns you may have while spending your time with us. Or just come for a natter, you don’t have to join the walk. Free refreshments available 😊
Meet at the practice reception – Marus Bridge Practice (upper ground floor Chandler House)
