As policymakers and system leaders increasingly focus on the relationship between health and economic inactivity, the importance of evidence in shaping future approaches continues to grow. At Ways to Wellness, we are reflecting on what this means for social prescribing, and why building confidence in data is key to demonstrating the impact of relationship-based support.

As a data-driven organisation, Ways to Wellness has been looking at new digital and technological solutions to ensure the information we capture helps with health system innovation, by fully demonstrating the impact of the non-medical interventions we test, on patients, communities, and healthcare infrastructure – and showcases the difference made by our specialist link workers.
