Description

Social Prescribing currently exists in Suffolk in a localised scheme across Ipswich and East Suffolk called Connect for Health. This service expands the offer into the acute setting and community healthcare services with dedicated roles in Transfer of Care Hub at Ipswich Hospital and a respiratory-focused role working across both the acute and community setting. The services comprise in-person hospital-based and community-based support, personalised to the individual, using a "what matters to me" approach to create a personalised care and support plan with the person to reduce length of acute stay and/or support management of respiratory conditions.
