ALT “While the NHS roll-out of social prescribing has proved successful, the next steps should include ensuring long-term, sustainable support for community-led schemes. Bringing together funding from different sources to develop locally designed programmes, and ensuring these are well connected to the health system, can have huge benefits. This approach can play an important role in the shift to prevention and to more health support being available in communities rather than hospitals.”

ALT "Social prescribing is not only good for patients but it’s good for the health system too. Because it helps people to stay healthier for longer, it can mean people visit their GPs less often and are less likely to be admitted to hospital. We know our health system needs to move from treatment to prevention, so we’re calling for the NHS to be bold and expand social prescribing so that every patient who needs it is able to access it as part of their treatment and care."
