Samaritans Care Navigation

Samaritans Care Navigation Service is a FREE program to help people achieve their health and wellbeing goals through one-on-one support.

Care Navigators work with local GP’s to support people who are looking to improve their health and wellbeing by;

breaking down barriers to access care
helping people develop self-confidence
linking people with local services
helping people understand the importance of looking after their own health and wellbeing

How it Works

GP’s nominate specific health goals for their patients who would benefit from the Care Navigation Service using the Goal Card (see below)
Care Navigators receive the GP referrals and then contact the individuals to develop a plan for achieving the goal
Care Navigators work with each person for around 12 weeks to support them to achieve their health goals and then provide a report back to the GP
There is also an option for people to self-refer to the Care Navigation service

Please note this service is not appropriate for someone experiencing a physical or mental health crisis.
