Social Prescribing at the Bromley by Bow Centre

Over the past decade the Bromley by Bow Centre has worked extensively to support the development and growth of social prescribing nationally and internationally. The Bromley by Bow Social Prescribing scheme consists of a general practice based social prescribing scheme serving, since 2012, a primary care network (PCN) of six GP practices with 58,000 registered patients. Our social prescribing team of eight includes specialist mental health, young people and welfare advice specialist link workers, alongside generalist and rapid response link workers.

Our social prescribing training team draws on many years of experience as social prescribing link workers, scheme managers and as trainers. All our trainers continue to act as link workers or supervise link workers. Our training is grounded in the current realities of social prescribing, on-going developments in Primary Care and Primary Care Networks, and draws on best and innovative practice at Bromley by Bow and across the UK.

Bromley by Bow is a founding member of the National Social Prescribing Network and we are Social Prescribing Regional Facilitators for London for NHS England and Healthy London Partnership.
