GPs refer patients to Redbridge CVS, where staff assign them to a "Health and Wellbeing Buddy" who supports and guides them in accessing a range of non-medical, community-based services, groups and social activities with the aim of reducing social isolation, improving mental health and promoting healthy lifestyles.
The service is available to patients over 18 years of age and registered with a GP in Redbridge who are:
- Feeling lonely
- Feeling low, sad or anxious
- Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
We are not able to take self-referrals – the referral has to be made by a GP.
