Social Prescribing

Posted on November 2nd, 2023

Patient facing comms

Have you been advised to join activities, groups or services to help with your health and wellbeing?

Learn how you can share your experience to improve support in your community!

Social prescribing can take many forms. A social prescriber is someone who has given the time and space to talk through your non-medical concerns and signposted you to support services in your local area.

If you have experienced this kind of support in London, the Patient Voices for Social Prescribing programme is an opportunity for you to:

• Develop your skills in storytelling, presentation and communication skills, useful for future working opportunities
• Connect with a group of people who have been through similar experiences
• Share your experience, and what you genuinely feel and think, with support to develop and share your story across London
• Explore future roles or opportunities helping to improve social prescribing services in London.

You can use your story to make a difference.
