Social prescribing is a prescription of activities for a person to use to link with others and undertake something they might enjoy. This could be a walking or singing group, flower arranging class, visit to a museum or putting them in touch with other people to help them feel better. There is recognition of significant health benefits of social prescribing in long term illnesses.
A new study will investigate how social prescribing could be used in promoting a higher quality of life for people living with dementia, through a £2.7 million funding grant from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and is the largest intervention development and evaluation of social prescribing to date.
This post will ASSIST deliver the qualitative components of the splendid programme including developing a CARE PATHWAY for social prescribing using experience-based co-design and designing and collecting qualitative data collection for the implementation components.
The post is offered on a full-time, fixed term basis from 9 January 2023, or as soon as possible thereafter, for 12 months. Appointment will be subject to a criminal record check at enhanced level from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
