The rapidly growing enthusiasm for social prescribing and its potential to influence delivery of services in primary care have exceeded expectation but the development of its evidence base and robust quality standards for evaluation have trailed (Lovell et al, 2017; Bickerdike et al, 2017).
WSSPR will sit within PRIME Centre Wales under the theme 'Seamless Care Closer to Home', within the work package 'Care Closer to Communities'.
Aim: Develop a social prescribing evaluation methodology.
Objectives:
We will use mixed methods, including consensus methods, to develop an evaluation methodology framework for social prescribing, reporting standards for publication, agreed glossary of terms and training resources for researchers.
