5. Why we are here?
• To share thinking about social prescribing
• To hear about practices on the ground and the
difference it makes
• To consider how we build the social
prescribing movement across health and care
• To hear your views on what works and why

6. Social Prescribing is about ‘connecting
people for wellbeing’…
• Giving people time - what matters to you?
• Power shift – people in control of their own
health and wellbeing
• Towards community, away from traditional
services
• Co-produced support plan, going together to
community groups
Referral Agency: GP,
Integrated Care team, Library
staff, self referral
Connectors: Community
Navigator or ‘link worker’,
employed in the VCSE sector
Prescribed: ‘Health Creating’
Community Groups -
gardening, singing, dance,
peer support – funded

7. Key ingredients
• An asset-based approach – what do you already have ?
• No one size fits all – different models
• Shared local leadership – don’t worry about hierarchies
• Build it together, all partners are important
• Can’t expect the voluntary sector to do everything for free!
• Collaboration and generosity, in spades – what offer can you make?
• Willingness to learn and share with others

● Continue the mission towards
mainstreaming social prescribing

25. “ We will work collaboratively with the
voluntary sector and primary care to design a
common approach to self-care and social
prescribing, including how to make it
systematic and equitable”
(p.45 Next Steps for the Five Year Forward View)
NHS England Commitment:

26. What have we done so far?
• We’re building a ‘social prescribing
movement’
• Provided support to local commissioners
• We’re working across government – broader
than NHS
– DH Social Prescribing Fund is open
- Life Chances Fund about to close

27. Priorities for the future:
• Develop the regional social prescribing
networks
• Support to CCGs, STPs and Accountable
Care Organisations
• Support for ‘link workers’
• Build the Evidence Base

28. Call to action!
• We’re all leaders – let’s build the movement together
• Work from strengths – look at our assets, support them,
build on them
• We’re developing the social model of health, recognising
that the wider determinants matters as much as the bio-
medical aspects of health
• We need to establish one-stop community connector
schemes in every locality, as the systematic connectors
• We need to build in support for community organisations
and not assume they will always be there, without our
support.
