Innovation and innovative practices in social prescribing

Our objective is to spotlight pioneering approaches, both nationally and internationally, with a focus on impact and tackling health inequalities.

We welcome submissions that address the theoretical perspectives of social prescribing, systematic reviews, research studies (quantitative or qualitative), independent evaluations, analysis of secondary data as well as original reports of evaluations that are carried out by organisations.

We also welcome abstracts that address the continuous learning from implementing a social prescribing scheme as well as research and evaluation on the different types of impact of social prescribing schemes.

Submissions could take the form of joint oral presentations at panel sessions to facilitate the perspectives of different stakeholders.
