While several European countries have adopted social prescribing to varying degrees, there is a pressing need
for robust evidence to demonstrate its effectiveness.
This workshop will provide valuable insights from three notable trials in Sweden, Ireland, and Germany,
offering lessons for both research and practice:
• Prof. Wolfram Herrmann & Niklas Jeske, M.Sc. (Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin): Social
Prescribing for Individuals with Non-Medical Health-Related Social Needs in Primary Care: A MultiCenter Randomized Controlled Pragmatic Feasibility Trial.
• Prof. Susan Smith (Trinity College Dublin): Primary Care-Based Link Workers Providing Social
Prescribing for People with Multimorbidity in Socially Deprived Areas: The LinkMM Trial.
• Prof. Ingeborg Nilsson (Umeå University): Social Prescribing Targeting Loneliness Among Older
Adults Using a Model for Integrated Care: The SPiS Trial.
Additionally, two experts will share standout lessons from UK-based efforts on social prescribing research
and implementation in practice:
• Prof. Kerryn Husk (University of Plymouth)
• Prof. Stephanie Tierney (University of Oxford)
