Social support and equal health care for everyone
The SP-EU consortium envisions a future where everyone – regardless of background or circumstances – has equal access to the care and support they need to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
We believe that Social Prescribing (SP) holds the power to transform health systems by bridging the gap between clinical care and the surrounding network of community-based, non-clinical services.
By placing people at the centre of care, SP empowers individuals facing health-related social challenges through personalised support and stronger connections within their communities.
Our vision is to tailor and scale this innovative approach to meet the unique needs of vulnerable populations – particularly LGBTIQ+ people (LGBTIQ+ referring to a person’s sexual identity: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer, and others), refugees and first-generation immigrants, and older people living alone – ensuring that no one is left behind.
Through co-creation across several disciplines, rigorous evaluation, and inclusive implementation across Europe, SP-EU aims to establish Social Prescribing as a scalable, cost-effective, and sustainable model of care. In doing so, we will drive the transformation toward a more equitable, integrated, and community-oriented health care system for all.
