Faith and Social Prescribing Online Launch

One in five GP appointments are for non-medical reasons. At a time when demand for GP appointments is at an all-time high and the pressure on secondary services is overwhelming. Lord Dhazi’s 2024 report stresses the need to prioritise neighbourhood-level care, prevent ill health and tackle health inequalities. Social prescribing plays a vital role in providing practical support for people who are struggling with loneliness, low-level mental health conditions, caring responsibilities, and financial issues such as debt.

This event is hosted by the ChurchWorks team and is designed for anyone eager to strengthen the connections between faith and social prescribing. It will be beneficial for local ministry or church leaders, link workers, and anyone focused on enhancing faith and community engagement in primary care. In addition to sharing our research findings, we’ll walk you through our "How To Guides," which offer practical steps for local churches and link workers to collaborate more effectively.

The Eventbrite link below will explain a little further and take you to purchase your free tickets. This will also grant you access to our Zoom webinar.
