Spring Social Prescribing

SAPHIRE interview with Spring Social Prescribing

SAPHIRe met with Danielle Keenan, SPRING Social Prescribing Project Manager who told us about this innovative and successful initiative, you can watch the interview below.

SPRING Social Prescribing is a way to link medical care to (typically) non-clinical, locally delivered support services. It enables medical professionals to refer their patients to a range of activities and services, recognising a social model of health in which wellbeing is determined by a variety of factors. SPRING empowers patients and communities, supports greater independence, reduces reliance on primary healthcare, and ultimately delivers better outcomes for people and society.
