C4PC hosted a webinar in March 2021 to support #SocialPrescribingDay and share learning from our document, Understanding & aligning link worker & community capacity building activity. All the videos from the event are available to watch.
This week we shared our our latest learning in a webinar attended by 100 people from a wide range of backgrounds across health and social care. Understanding and aligning link worker and community capacity building activity: A place-based approach in York and Wakefield was commissioned by NHS England and delivered by C4PC in collaboration with Community Catalysts, The National Association of Link Workers (NALW), the New NHS Alliance (now The Health Creation Alliance) and the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE).
This resource, produced through collaboration between a number of organisations, focusses on understanding and aligning link workers and community capacity building.
C4PC is sharing new insight focussed on understanding how best to align link worker and capacity building activities with optimum success. The resource explores a place-based approach in York and Wakefield, and highlights the importance of community strengthening roles including how individuals and communities can best take control of their own lives and environment to maintain good health and well-being.
