Dear Ms Mitchell
I am writing to invite you to attend the above seminar. Please note there is a charge for most delegates, although concessionary and complimentary places are available (subject to terms and conditions
- see below).
This seminar will provide an opportunity to discuss the future for social prescribing in England
- with sessions focusing on commissioning, demonstrating quality, learning from best practice and the next steps for policy.
We are delighted to include keynote addresses from
Dr Michael Dixon, National Clinical Lead, Social Prescribing, NHS England; Co-Chair, Social Prescribing Network and Chairman, College of Medicine;
Professor Gillian Leng, Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Health and Social Care, NICE and
Dr Marie Polley, Senior Lecturer, School of Life Sciences, University of Westminster and Co-Chair, Social Prescribing Network.
The conference takes place with an increasing policy focus on social prescribing - with
plans to develop it further as part of a
holistic
approach to prevention announced by the Secretary of State within his priorities for the health and social care system, and with it being one of the 10 high-impact actions within the
General
Practice Forward View.
We expect discussion around the engagement of leaders within the health and social care system with plans for social prescribing, as well as
future governance arrangements.
Delegates will also consider latest
evidence of the expected impacts from social prescribing schemes, quality assurance,
workforce training requirements, and what more can be done to ensure equity of access.
Further sessions
assess the sustainability of social prescribing schemes
in the face of pressures on local public health budgets, and on GPs and their colleauges within primary care in terms of time and other competing demands - as well as
the impact of recently announced government
funding for a range of social prescribing schemes across England and what more can be done locally to identify and organise the use of assets that already exist.
Overall, areas for discussion include:
- Assessing where we are now - policy and delivery priorities for social prescribing in England;
- Addressing
challenges for commissioning social prescribing - with discussion on funding, governance, integration and engaging with Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships;
- Defining and demonstrating quality -
including nature of standards for different sectors, evidence and workforce training;
- Social prescribing in practice
- implications for general practice, digital signposting to local assets, patient experience and application to mental health wellbeing; and
- Learning from the evaluation of case studies from across England and Scotland on developing personalised approaches to care.
The agenda has been structured following consultation with NHS England. The draft agenda is copied below my signature, and a regularly updated version is available to download
here.

A key output of the seminar will be a transcript of the proceedings, sent out around 12 working days after the event to all attendees and a wider group of Ministers and officials
at DHSC and other government departments; agencies affected by the issues; and Parliamentarians with a special interest in these areas. It will also be made available more widely. This document will include transcripts of all speeches and questions and answers

The Westminster Health Forum is strictly impartial and cross-party, and draws on the considerable support it receives from within Parliament and Government, and
amongst the wider stakeholder community. The Forum has no policy agenda of its own. Forum events are frequently the platform for major policy statements from senior Ministers, regulators and other officials, opposition speakers and senior opinion-formers in
industry and interest groups. Events regularly receive prominent coverage in the national and trade media.
