Great new paper digging down into the literature on health inequities and social prescribing. Can it really make a difference?

"Yes!" #HealthInequalities are dependent on social inequalities & economic inequalities. Supporting socioeconomic equity at a *macro* level is far more effective & efficient & supports individuals & local communities. Changing the world 1 at a time is ineffective #PublicHealth

Congratulations to my colleagues @AmadeaTurk et al. for this great piece on the development of a conceptual framework about the role of #SocialPrescribing #LinkWorkers. Friday 5 July is a day of good news 🙏

Excellent new paper: "Should social prescribing seek to improve outcomes for those experiencing social and economic disadvantage, it may be necessary for social prescribing models to allow for more intensive and longer-term modes of support."

.@AmadeaTurk ad colleagues develop aconceptual framework of the role link workers play in social prescribing. Read the full study here: bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Link workers' experiences of social prescribing can be shaped by tensions which need to be considered to help ensure the sustainable and equitable implementation of social prescribing. Read more - shorturl.at/E5AlI📰 #SocialPrescribing @OxPrimaryCare @NIHRSPCR

Our paper on findings from patient experience of the role of social prescribing link workers in primary care: emotional support gives hope and confidence but is often undervalued @OxPrimaryCare @kerrynhusk @dclovesgp @joannelreeve @AmadeaTurk @SMarkham9 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1155/20…

This morning at #SAPC2023, @AmadeaTurk talks about her research on link worker experiences in creating and maintaining professional networks across different socioeconomic networks - using social network analysis 🖇️

What a opening and passionate talk by @BecksFisher at #SAPC2023! Talking on tackling the inverse care law, inequitable income streams funding & a distance to target approach in levelling equity in order to bring the provision of #primarycare in line with population need 🩺

@H_Atherton @UAPCWarwick Huge congratulations, Helen!!!

From 1st August I will be Professor of Primary Care Research @UAPCWarwick Thanks to all those on this journey with me - always grateful.

@georgette_eaton @999EMSRF @OxPrimaryCare Excellent poster design 👌

Fantastic to be at the #999EMSRF2023 conference in Manchester to present a poster on the role of rotational #paramedics in #primarycare - a subgroup analysis of part of a larger publication last year (you can read it here: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/12/12/…) 🚑🩺

Report from a workshop to share key research findings on social prescribing in disadvantaged settings. Headlines: social prescribing provides vital support for individuals & communities UK-wide. However, thought must be given to the way it's implemented, ensuring that community infrastructure is able to support it: tinyurl.com/4tvkjmrm By @AmadeaTurk

@PillingMichelle @scriberian @NIHRSPCR @NIHRcommunity @CebmOxford Full analysis and report are still in progress. These are just some early emerging impressions and discussions. Will be sure to share the full report as soon as it's ready.

@AmadeaTurk @scriberian @NIHRSPCR @NIHRcommunity @CebmOxford Looks interesting @AmadeaTurk are you able to share the full report? It’s all about community and connection ❎ behaviour change 🙌
