Using Evidence to Strengthen Social Prescribing

Events Icon
Healthy Communities and Social Prescribing is part of the North East & North Cumbria Integrated Care Board’s ‘Healthier and Fairer’ programme aimed at reducing health inequalities across the North East and North Cumbria. We work to build on community assets, enabling local, community-based action to support the health and wellbeing of everybody in our region.

 

How can we use evidence more effectively to strengthen social prescribing? 

Rather than viewing this as a traditional conference with a series of presentations, we are designing the event as a collaborative learning experience. Every session will explore the central question from a different perspective, helping participants build their confidence and capability in using evidence to improve services and demonstrate impact. 

This event aims to create a space where participants can: 

  • explore different approaches to evidence in social prescribing; 

  • learn from current regional and national developments; 

  • share their own experiences, challenges and practical solutions; 

  • leave with greater confidence in using evidence to strengthen their offer to patients and service users, improve services and communicate impact. 

See the event flyer here for details of speakers leading the discussions.
