Great blog from @RobMitch92 How do we ensure that social prescribing - and social work - enable to people to identify what works for them - and not fit people into boxes / one size fits all solutions

Ooh this is so fab from @RobMitch92. Totally agree about the contradiction around asking ‘what matters to you’ then prescribing a ‘solution’ from a menu of groups and services. And Florence’s idea of a holiday is appealing too.. can’t beat a bit of autumnal east coast joy!

Delighted to have published our paper on our evaluation of a social prescribing service and the lessons learned. One finding - which we did not expect - was that social workers were referring more than GPs. Thus our recent interest in social work & social prescribing.
