Personalised care: social prescribing and community connections Social prescribing connects people to community groups and services, through the support of ‘link workers’ who:
- take referrals from local agencies
- can give people time
- co-produce a plan to meet the person’s
wellbeing needs, based on what is important to them Social prescribing is an umbrella term and is sometimes referred to as community connection, care navigation or other names. The core purpose is the same – to ensure that a person can access the range of resources that are available to them in their communities to keep them well.
