Please note the surgery is closed for staff training from 12pm on Wednesday 2nd July. Online requests will be switched off at 11.15am to allow GPs time to process them before we close and staff will be able to deal with urgent requests over the telephone up until 12pm. We will reopen as normal the following day. If you need medical help whilst we are closed, call 111 or visit 111.nhs.uk. If you need urgent medical help, call 999.

James Errington

Social Prescribing Team Lead

I’m James, the Social Prescribing Team Lead for North Gosforth and Jesmond Lower Gosforth Primary Care Networks.

What I Do

I lead and support the social prescribing link workers as they continue their great work to help patients in the community.

How I Support Patients

Social Prescribing helps patients by offering floating support in the community, listening to their problems, signposting to relevant community services or resources, and practising motivational interviewing/coaching interventions.
