Social prescribing connects the health and care systems to community-based activities and support to address practical, emotional and social issues affecting patient’s health and wellbeing, with social prescribing link workers at the heart of this delivery.
NASP is here to support PCNs with the recruitment, retention and development of the social prescribing workforce, to ensure high quality social prescribing delivery and outcomes for you and your patients.
We offer free support to PCNs.

- Guidance on workforce retention and development, with access to resources and additional training for your staff
- Support on nominating a Social Prescribing Champion
- Advice and guidance on progressing your social prescribing through links to VCFSE providers
