Communication
Promoting social prescribing, its role in self-management, and the wider determinants of health such as housing, finance management, and employment. Build relationships with key staff in GP practices within the local Primary Care Network (PCN), attending relevant meetings, becoming part of the wider network team, giving information and feedback on social prescribing. Be proactive in developing strong links with all local agencies to encourage referrals, recognising what they need to be confident in the service to make appropriate referrals. Work in partnership with all local agencies to raise awareness of social prescribing and how partnership working can reduce pressure on statutory services, improve health outcomes, and enable a holistic approach to care.
Service Quality Seek regular feedback about the quality of service and impact of social prescribing referral agencies. Be proactive in encouraging self-referrals and connecting with all local communities, particularly the hard-to-reach groups. Meet people on a one-to-one basis, making home visits where appropriate within organisations' policies and procedures.
Build trust with the person, providing non-judgemental support, respecting diversity and lifestyle choices. Work from a strength-based approach focusing on a person's assets. Be a friendly source of information about well-being and prevention approaches. Help people identify the wider issues that impact their health and well-being, such as debt, poor housing, being unemployed, loneliness, and caring responsibilities.
Work with the person, their families, and carers and consider how they can all be supported through social prescribing. Help people maintain or regain independence through signposting to resources that support living skills, adaptations, enablement approaches, and simple safeguards. Work with individuals to co-produce a simple personalised support plan based on the person's priorities, interests, values, and motivations, including what they can expect from the groups, activities, and services they are being connected to and what the person can do for themselves to improve their health and well-being. Conduct reviews of the plan at set intervals to determine the impact of social prescribing. Ensure that local community groups and voluntary organisations being referred to have basic procedures in place for ensuring that vulnerable individuals are safe and, where there are safeguarding concerns, work with all partners to deal appropriately with issues.
Support local groups
to act in accordance with information governance policies and procedures, ensuring compliance with the Data Protection Act.
Service Impact Work with the network lead, employer, and local partners to identify unmet needs within the community and gaps in community provision. Work sensitively with people, their families, and carers to capture key information, enabling tracking of the impact of social prescribing on their health and well-being. Encourage people, their families, and carers to provide feedback and to share their stories about the impact of social prescribing on their lives.
Support referral agencies to provide appropriate information about the person they are referring. Use the case management system to track the person's progress. Provide appropriate feedback to referral agencies about the people they referred. Work closely with GP practices within the PCN to ensure that social prescribing referral codes are inputted to EMIS and that the person's use of the NHS can be tracked, adhering to data protection legislation and data sharing agreements between GP Practices.
Professional Development Work with your line manager to undertake mandatory training and continual personal and professional development, taking an active part in reviewing and developing the roles and responsibilities. Participate in role development programmes delivered and coordinated by the Primary Care Academy. Adhere to organisational policies and procedures, including confidentiality, safeguarding, lone working, information governance, and health and safety. Work with your line manager to access regular clinical supervision, to enable you to deal effectively with the difficult issues that people present.
