Background
Social prescribing empowers people to take control of their health and wellbeing supported by a 'link worker' who can give time, focus on what matters to the individual and who takes a holistic approach to their health and wellbeing, connecting people to a range of diverse community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support.
Social prescribing can help strengthen community and personal resilience, reduce health inequalities (in relation to timely access and outcomes) and wellbeing inequalities by addressing the wider determinants of health, such as debt, poor housing and physical inactivity, by increasing people's active involvement with their local communities.
It particularly works for people with long term conditions (including support for mental health), for people who are lonely or isolated, or have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing.
Social prescribing is a way of engaging patients with a resource which provides support within the local community.In addition it provides GPs and other healthcare professionals with a non-medical referral option that can align to existing treatments to improve health and wellbeing.
People want to be able to access information and support in a setting that is convenient and familiar to them, delivered by people they trust.
