Social prescribing, also known as community connecting, navigating, or link working, is a term used to describe a spectrum of approaches to support people to access services and activities that can help deal with life circumstances and improve health and wellbeing.
Various definitions exist reflecting that social prescribing is not a treatment in itself but rather a social solution. A preventive approach requires a broader spectrum of provision reaching people who may not be at the point of requiring or perceiving themselves to require medical help.
