Community Links Practitioner

Annemarie McGregor is our Community Links Practitioner and you can be referred to her by your GP or another member of the practice team. She helps people access community resources to assist them to live well. Annemarie can help you with any non-clinical issues you may be experiencing. She can signpost you to local services that you might benefit from. For example, welfare rights, counselling, cancer support, volunteering opportunities or access to employability support. She can also help you access fun activities such as walking, swimming, gardening groups, lunch clubs or cooking to improve your health and wellbeing. Annemarie can help you access an online Yoga for Pain class and a local Walking Group.

You can make an appointment with our Community Links Practitioner at reception without a referral from your GP.
