The Oxford Social Prescribing Research Network from the University of Oxford brings together world-class evidence-based research and expertise from the cultural and heritage sector to support people's health and well-being through social prescribing. This interdisciplinary network consists of members of the university's Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (part of the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences) and colleagues from Gardens, Libraries and Museums (GLAM), alongside members of the public, clinical providers, policymakers and other researchers. Together, we work to understand different perspectives on social prescribing, how patients' health and well-being can benefit, and the mechanisms through which social prescribing delivery can be optimised.
