Social prescribing and health and wellbeing
This briefing sets out the important role that social prescribing has on the health and wellbeing of the population, the social prescribing initiatives already in place across Wales and the evidence that already exists which highlights the effectiveness of social prescribing.
The Welsh NHS Confederation is the only national membership body which represents all the organisations that make up the NHS in Wales: the seven Local Health Boards and three NHS Trusts. Our role is to support our members to improve health and well-being by working with them to deliver high standards of care for patients and best value for taxpayers’ money. We act as a driving force for positive change through strong representation and our policy, influencing and engagement work.
