Social prescribing can be an effective part of Population Health Management. 

It help you to:

Know your communities and their issues. Social prescribing is rooted in
communities and is a valuable way to gather insights about the range of
challenges they are facing and create realistic solutions together.

Connect people to the help and support they need, from across sectors, to address the wider determinants of health.

Prevent health issues from recurring or deteriorating by giving personalised care and routes into long-lasting support.

This guide is intended to support Integrated Care Systems in their approach to PHM, with social prescribing case studies, tips, questions to consider and more.
