Social prescribing is now embedded in the UK healthcare system, aiming to alleviate many of the pressures currently facing our healthcare system. Simultaneously, it offers a holistic approach to patients' health and well-being. In light of this, Social Prescribing Link Workers are playing a more crucial role than ever. They work in partnership with individuals, providing non-medical holistic support tailored to individual needs, preferences and goals. They connect individuals with community-based support services and activities, serving as a bridge between clinicians and local community resources.

This is the first book written specifically for Social Prescribing Link Workers throughout the UK, and is filled with insights and perspectives on social prescribing. Whether you are new to social prescribing or seeking a deeper understanding of the link worker role, this book is your go-to guide for comprehending the various complexities and identities of the profession.

Key features include:

  • Contains real-life case studies and first-hand accounts, providing valuable insights into the SPLW role.
  • Delves into the integral role SPLWs play within multi-disciplinary healthcare teams, fostering collaboration in primary care settings and contributing to healthcare transformation.
  • Explores evidence, policy, and strategies for effective social prescribing, as well as challenges and gaps.
  • Outlines professional standards and frameworks specific to Social Prescribing Link Workers, fostering confidence and support in the role.
