Connect North Service

Many things affect our health and wellbeing. Social factors such as work, money, housing problems, the challenges of managing long-term conditions or feeling lonely or isolated are just as important to our health and wellbeing as our physical needs. Connecting people with the right help and support to address these social needs is called ‘social prescribing’.

Connect North is a health and wellbeing support service within the Northern Health and Social Care Trust (NHSCT) area. Connect North aims to connect you to the right help and support to address your social needs.
