  • Herbert Art Gallery

    The Herbert Art Gallery has created a series of innovative social prescribing activities, working with PCNs to respond directly to the health needs of the community. The activities utilise the assets within the museum, to develop creative health sessions such as their ‘Back In Time’ memory box sessions, which use photos and objects from museum collections to support older adults within the community.

  • Red Cross High Intensity Use Programme

    High intensity users of health services are a very small number of people (0.67% of the English population) who frequently attend Accident and Emergency. This Red Cross programme uses social prescribing principles to provide support to people in their communities, to minimise issues escalating resulting in the need for more urgent care. The programme has achieved a 58% reduction in A&E attendance, 67% reduction in non-elective admissions and 71% reduction in ambulance journeys, saving the NHS more than £420,000.

  • Barca Leeds - Urgent Care

    This is a great example of shifting and revising social prescribing provision to meet health care needs within the community. Barca developed a new specialist Outreach Support Team (BOST) and developed an assessment model for clinicians to be able to easily assess who would benefit from the service, in order to provide specific support to people who are having frequent contact with urgent and emergency healthcare services.
