What can we learn about social prescribing from a large-scale multi-methods study?
This half-day event concludes our National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) evaluation of a social prescribing intervention for people with Type 2 Diabetes in North East England. A series of presentations will outline our findings relating to health outcomes, health-related quality of life, healthcare usage, assessment of cost effectiveness and the examination of the lived experiences of those delivering and engaging with the intervention.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in open discussion about the challenges and opportunities of social prescribing with an expert panel from academic, voluntary and community, practitioner and policy sectors.
Who should attend?
This event is aimed at anyone with an interest in social prescribing and health interventions aimed at addressing health inequalities, including colleagues in academia, public health, social care, healthcare and the voluntary and community sectors.
What will I gain from this?
A detailed understanding of the outcomes of a particular large-scale social prescribing intervention. The opportunity to engage in a discussion about social prescribing initiatives and the potential for social prescribing to impact on health inequalities.
