Getting to know social prescribing
Suffolk and North East Essex

‘Getting to know social prescribing’ market development workshops designed to inform and connect the cultural sector with social prescribing were developed to increase awareness, encourage interest and make connections as part of the recommissioning process for social prescribing.   These workshops were a collaboration between Ipswich & East Suffolk CCG, East Suffolk Council, NHS Norfolk & Waveney, and Connect for Health Advisors facilitated by the county council’s arts development manager in partnership with Suffolk Artlink.
