We work with individuals and communities to help people take control of their lives, reduce poverty and isolation and prevent the breakdown of our communities.
Primary Care Community Link Service
The Primary Care Community Link Service offers advice, advocacy and support to people in the community and has been developed in conjunction with NHS Eastern and Coastal Kent and Kent Adult Social Services. Currently the service is based out of three GP surgeries in Thanet.
Doctors at the surgeries identify Patients who need help with social issues such as debt or housing that might be causing or contributing to their mental health issues and then refer them to the service. We then work with the individual for up to eight weeks to address these issues and so reduce their vulnerability to homelessness.
The service is there to bridge the gap between medical intervention and the support people need to get their whole lives back on track. The service is contributing to a decrease in repeat visits to the GP.
We currently hold drop-ins at Northdown Surgery, Newington Surgery and Eastcliff Surgery. Referrals are accepted from any GP surgery.
