Wales Social Prescribing Research Network

WSPRN, established earlier this year, brings together academics,
the third sector, citizens, practitioners and managers from across
health and social care, public sector commissioners, the
independent sector and other stakeholders. The network, which aims
to develop the evidence base for social prescribing in Wales, is
primarily a virtual platform with over 170 members.

WSPRN also supports the three communities of practice in North,
West and East Wales which come together to discuss social
prescribing. A series of face-to-face meetings have and continue to
take place across Wales to discuss, through a consensus approach,
the key research questions for the Network to take forward.

The Network is funded through Health and Care Research Wales
(Wales School for Social Care Research Capacity Building Small
Grants Award 2018).
