Requesting a letter of support from GP

Supporting letters from GPs often do not influence outcomes and are often not appropriate.

The practice will signpost to social prescribing link workers (SPLWs) for support with housing related concerns, SPLWs can help navigate through the process and issues with housing.

We do not issues letters of support for pupils for school. A school will contact the GP directly for information regarding a pupil should this be required.
