Notice Title

BAME (Black Asian Multi Ethnicity) Social Prescribing Service

Notice Description

Social Prescribing currently exists in Suffolk in a localised scheme across Ipswich and East Suffolk called Connect for Health. This BAME service looks to increase social prescribing access across Ipswich for the BAME/multi-cultural communities, to support non-medical interventions to provide improved health outcomes to support adult people with complex needs from multi-ethnic backgrounds to support ongoing work to reduce health inequalities. The service is based on enhanced social prescribing models for people with highly complex needs referred from Primary Care and designed to support them in the long-term. Support services and interventions already exist in the community, but additional capacity is required to enhance the service offer and access by health services, particularly primary medical services. The service will comprise drop-in, office-based and community-based support, personalised to the individual, using a "what matters to me" approach to create a personalised care and support plan with the person.
