The focus for this year’s much anticipated event was the emerging field of social prescribing.
Social Prescribing links patients in primary care with non-medical sources of support within the community.
There is growing evidence and increasing consensus among health and social care professionals that psychosocial interventions - such as Social Prescribing, should form a central component of treatment options for common mental health problems.
At this year's conference we invited delegates to consider the role that psychosocial interventions might play in the provision of timely and effective high quality care for people living with, or at risk of, mental health distress.
