Social prescribing service

Social prescribing aims to get to the root causes of people’s ill health and bring about lasting change.  The Social Prescribing Service has been running in Skelmersdale since April 2018 and has now been widened to cover the whole of West Lancs.  Any resident can be referred into it by their GP.

The Social Prescribing Service transferred  to OWLS (GP Federation) in April 2023, and CVS no longer run this service.
