Frome Medical Practice Health Connections Team

There are lots of ways you can get support or find out about support and opportunities for you. The Health Connections social prescribing and health coaching team works alongside your medical practice. You could start by searching our online directory to find out about support in your area. You may like to join one of our regular Talking Cafes in Frome. Many people benefit from attending our Be Healthy, Be Happy group sessions which we run regularly at Frome Medical practice. Our aim is to support you in making sustainable changes that matter to you.

You may prefer to see a Health Connector for a one-to-one appointment, on the phone or in person. You might even be interested in volunteering in your community and training as a Community Connector.

Have a look below or give us a call and we will be happy to help.

Frome: Pay it Forwards

Paying it Forward is the act of buying something for someone that you don’t know and will probably never meet. When you see a PAY IT FORWARD poster or sticker in shops and businesses across Mendip and you are buying something for yourself, you could buy a second for someone else. You’ll find the window sticker displayed around Frome in shops and cafes.
