Social Prescribing Social prescribing, sometimes referred to as community referral, is a means of enabling GPs, nurses, primary care professionals, and allied services to refer people to a range of local, non-clinical services. Recognising that people’s health is determined primarily by a range of social, economic and environmental factors, social prescribing seeks to address people’s needs in a holistic way. It also aims to support individuals to take greater control of their own health. Social prescribing schemes can involve a variety of activities which are typically provided by voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Examples include volunteering, arts activities, group learning, gardening, befriending, cookery, healthy eating advice and a range of sports. There are many different models for social prescribing, but most involve a link worker or ‘connector’ who works with people to access local sources of support. Here in Oldham we have partners from Age UK Oldham, Early Help (Positive Steps), and TOG (Tameside, Oldham and Glossop) MIND. Social prescribing is designed to support people with a wide range of social, emotional or practical needs, and many schemes are focussed on improving mental health and physical well-being. Those who could benefit from social prescribing schemes include people with mild or long-term mental health problems, vulnerable groups, people who are socially isolated, and those who frequently attend either primary or secondary health care.
