With features like self-referral and self-serve, the platform aims to make it easier for individuals to take charge of their health journey. While also simplifying administration for care providers by offering a fully customer-branded managed directory of services, Marketplace makes it easier to find support that matters to the individual.

By connecting people with community and voluntary services, residents can access programmes designed to improve their health and wellbeing.

A Dynamic Solution for Primary Care

Marketplace connects residents with local community services, helping to reduce GP workload and ensure patients receive holistic care.

The platform’s self-referral feature enables individuals to sign up for social prescribing services directly, bypassing the need for medical staff intervention for every case. This helps reduce reliance on GP appointments, allowing practitioners to focus on more acute cases while ensuring patients still receive the support they need.

With every £1 being spent on social prescribing saving £2.30 in reduced GP and A&E visits, investing in Marketplace enables healthcare providers to access real-time data and reports that track demand trends and patient outcomes. This helps identify gaps in services to drive the development of new initiatives, ultimately leading to better health outcomes for patients. The data-driven approach also ensures that services remain relevant and responsive to the needs of the population.

Empowering the Voluntary Sector

At the core of Marketplace is the ability for VCSEs to create and manage an up-to-date directory of services. This directory is tailored to each community, ensuring that service offerings match the unique needs of the area. Voluntary organisations can self-register their services, reducing the time and effort spent by social prescribing teams on outreach and onboarding.

Marketplace serves as a digital shop window for VCSEs, showcasing their services to a broader audience and making it easier for individuals to find support. This increased visibility helps voluntary organisations expand their reach and contribute more effectively to the health and wellbeing of their communities.

With fewer administrative tasks, VCSEs can focus on what really matters - delivering quality services that make a difference. The platform also offers tools to track engagement, which can be crucial for securing future funding and demonstrating the impact of their programs.

Boosting Student Retention

Universities looking to enhance student welfare can benefit immensely from Marketplace. The self-referral and self-serve features empower students to take control of their wellbeing, making it easier for them to access mental health support, wellness activities, and community services, without long waiting times, or overstretching student welfare support services.

This autonomy not only improves engagement but also supports students in managing their health proactively.

With increasing concerns over student mental health and dropout rates increasing year on year, Marketplace helps universities create a supportive environment where students can find the help they need, whether it’s mental health services, fitness programs, or community activities.

Marketplace’s data analytics features allow universities to track student engagement with social prescribing services. By measuring the success of these initiatives, universities can refine their offerings to better support their student population.

Data from our partnership with University College London revealed that non-medical referrals, such as self-referrals, are popular among young people who often avoid GPs for mental health support. This insight is crucial for universities to make social prescribing more accessible and reduce the stigma around seeking mental health help.

With Accenture 2021 highlighting nearly 40% of students experiencing a mental health decline, utilising tools that help universities have the resources needed to deliver appropriate and accessible support for all students regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity is vital to make sure support services are accessible to all.
