Social prescribing FAQs

What is social prescribing?

Social prescribing is an approach to healthcare growing movement that connects people with a range of non-clinical programmes, services, and events in their local community. 

The schemes involved in social prescribing can include: walking groups, mental health counselling, debt management advice, employability skills, volunteering, family fitness, healthy cooking programmes, mindfulness sessions, and the ‘green prescription’ of gardening and food growing.

How does social prescribing work?

Our social prescribing software enables you to create bespoke social prescribing programmes suited to the needs of your community and to facilitate more people to access and engage in social prescribing services. 

How to measure the impact of social prescribing

One method that will benefit most social prescribers is incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data when measuring the impact of social prescribing.

Forming local partnerships is one of the best ways to do this as it will provide you access with robust reporting systems to get all the required data you need from clinical systems.

Spreadsheets vs digital social prescribing platform: which is the best choice for me?

Spreadsheets will not enable your social prescribing programme to reach a larger number of people and generate more referrals.

A digital social prescribing platform should make it easier for people to access and be referred to your programme. 

How can Social Prescribing improve Mental Health?

In order to re-shape mental health services, social prescribing has been identified as a means of self-management, connecting individuals into non-medical sources of support to improve their health and wellbeing, such as debt, housing and employment advice as well as exercise programmes and green space.
