Social prescribing is rapidly increasing in popularity as a tool which helps individuals to make positive changes to their lives so that they can become more involved in their community, meet new people and improve their health and wellbeing.

As a replacement to the RSPH Level 2 Award in Applied Health Improvement, which is being withdrawn, RSPH is considering developing a regulated qualification in this subject. If your centre would consider offering such a qualification to your clients, or would like to become involved in the development of the qualification, please contact RSPH by emailing Aaron Mansfield.
