The new National Framework for Social Prescribing (NFfSP) supports local action to mainstream and grow social prescribing across Wales. Furthermore, it aims to develop a common understanding of the language used and the approach taken to social prescribing in Wales; support social prescribing practitioners and drive-up skills; set out the outcomes expected from a user, organisation, commissioner and referrer perspective; and ensure a quality of provision by community assets. It will also monitor and evaluate the development of social prescribing as it continues to grow across Wales.
