Social Prescribing - the answer to our Covid Recovery? - A Virtual Article Cahoot! (Bristol)

WATCH.  READ . LISTEN

The pandemic has brought about incredible challenges to everyone's health and wellbeing. The social isolation, anxiety and disruption has been totally unprecedented. As we start to look to towards our recovery with health services at maxiumum capacity, what support is available? Could Social prescribing, a means of enabling health professionals to refer people to a range of local services which support their health and wellbeing, be the answer?

OneHealthTech Bristol would love to delve into this topic as a group of interested non-experts and chat about our thoughts and experiences at our second Virtual Article Cahoot!

Before the event

You can swot up by looking at the following resources (but don’t worry if you don’t have time as we’ll bring everyone up to speed on the day)

• If you have 2 minutes, watch this short video 
• If you have 10 minutes, read the King's Fund article on social prescribing
• If you have 45minutes, read the above and listen to Primary Care Knowledge Boost on Social Prescribing

On the day

The One HealthTech Bristol Hub is looking forward to discussing this topic with you and pondering on…

• Could social prescribing play a key role in the global recovery from the pandemic?
• What will be the challenges of adapting back to the old normal?
• How might we ensure services are accessible and inclusive?

We’ll all be ‘in cahoots’ together to talk it all over and we’re looking forward to learning something new with you all!

TICKETS

Tickets are FREE, however as One HealthTech is a volunteer-led community we rely on our amazing sponsors and donations from attendees to help us host our well-regarded events. Please consider choosing a donation ticket, especially if you're attending on behalf of your company and can expense it.

ACCESSIBILITY

We’ve been awarded a Fairer Tech grant from doteveryone to make our events more accessible (woop woop!)

If for any reason there are barriers to engaging in the community we invite anyone to apply for up to £30 (but ask for more if you need, worth a try) per person per event to cover personal costs to improve this. The money can cover just about anything, including but not limited to child/other care, taxis if you’re not able-bodied, trains if you live out in the countryside, a live captioner, recording of the event or loss of earnings if you have a side job along your studies. If you feel it’s a barrier, we agree too. Find out more
