Delighted to be included in this new wellbeing tool, alongside other orgs offering support to NHS staff. Working in healthcare can be very rewarding, but it can also take a huge toll on mental health and wellbeing. Knowing where to turn for help, and what support is available, is so important.

What makes social prescribing work for patients? Our research, commissioned by the National Academy for Social Prescribing found that patients valued the time, listening and individual support they received from Social Prescribing Link Workers.

More than three-quarters of patients (76%) reported they felt like an equal partner in decisions about their care made with their link worker.

As social prescribing develops, patients' experiences should remain central to decisions about how it is delivered. That means listening to what patients say works, understanding where there are barriers, and making sure the model reflects the needs and preferences of patients
