Social prescribing: Intro webinar

Right now, as part of its plans for ‘personalised care’ NHS England is funding a nationwide ‘social prescribing’ initiative. It’s a big investment, with great potential. But it’s vital that this model works for young people. We think Youth Access members could play an important role in making sure it meets their needs. 

This introductory webinar will bring together Youth Access members to share knowledge of social prescribing across our network. This is a space for all members – no matter your understanding or experience of social prescribing - to discuss how we can seize the opportunities presented by the NHS funding, and share learning across the network. 

This meeting will cover:

• An introduction to the social prescribing agenda in NHS Long Term Plan, how it's being funded and where to find out more
• An introduction to some social prescribing models, with a presentation from some Youth Access members who already employ a young person-centred link worker
• A chance to discuss opportunities, concerns, and ways we can support one another

We're hoping this will be the first step in forming a valuable community to share learning on social prescribing models for young people. We'll use this initial meeting to help decide which next steps to take, which subjects any future webinars or meet-ups should cover, and to support the creation of more focused, subject- or location-based groups to work together moving forward.

If you can't attend this session but would appreciate an additional session on another date, select the ticket option "I can't attend this time" and we'll do our best to make sure you get the information you need.
