The term innovation is used a lot when talking about health these days. Frequently coupled with digital and the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI), it is often viewed only through a technical lens, and technological advancements are undoubtedly part of the picture. But valuable aspects that can be overlooked in this conversation include creativity, collaboration and co-production, which can be equally crucial to advancement.

Ways to Wellness is paying its learning forward this #SocialPrescribingDay by investigating the ways in which the delivery of community health services can best support specific groups of people.

In addition to hosting social prescribing link workers operating within some of of our pilot projects and prototypes, we often take a role grounded in research in order to further our mission to tackle health inequalities. 

Case in point is a study we're involved in to identify the ways in which link workers can best support young mums and birthing parents with their mental health.
