Description

Social prescribing - connecting people to communities and services to meet their needs - has become an increasingly important element of healthcare policy. This comprehensive overview provides the first in-depth look at social prescribing, pulling together arguments, evidence, and resources to define its concept and analyze its potential. The book considers various approaches to improving health and wellbeing through social means, with real-life examples of where theory has been applied in practice. It is a well-balanced and accessible guide, making it ideal for healthcare practitioners, researchers, and policy makers interested in exploring the benefits of social prescribing. Heather Henry's expertise as former chair of New NHS Alliance and her experience in primary care, the voluntary sector, and social enterprise make her an authoritative voice on this topic.
