Trowbridge GPs team up with CAB to offer advice at surgery

Patients at a Trowbridge GP can now see a Citizens Advice Bureau caseworker at the surgery thanks to a new partnership.

NHS Wiltshire and the CAB have teamed up with GPs at Adcroft Surgery to offer patients free, confidential advice on debt, benefits and other issues in a bid to improve patients' overall health.

Citizens Advice workers have successfully worked with GP practices in other areas offering advice which has resulted in improvements in patients' stress levels, anxiety, a reduction in smoking and improved energy levels.

The scheme is now available at Adcroft for its registered patients on Thursday and Friday mornings and at Bemerton Heath Surgery in Salisbury.
