2. Institutional/systemic?
The Context
Social prescribing is being developed in, and is part of, a changing world
Social
Economic
Institutional/systemic

3. The Opportunity
Social Prescribing offers a way forward to develop a systematic approach to prevention. It takes a strategic approach to enable system reform and a step towards a person centered city.
Social prescribing could:
Develop a systematic approach to prevention
Bring together PKW, external funding, active support and recovery……
Recognise the value of the voluntary and community sector to the people of the city and help its financial stability
Social prescribing isn’t:
A route to offer significant cashable savings against healthcare budgets;
A proven approach with randomised clinical trials – there is a leap of faith here

4. How do we fund it?
The Opportunity
“The goal is for everyone… to have a great start in life with support to stay healthy and live longer”
This cannot be achieved through clinical healthcare alone – how can we best use all the assets of the city?
