At the moment we are building the Community Prescription network. The Community Prescription Network is a structure where the Health Facilitator (lead KCIP – key community information person) works closely with a group of carefully selected, trusted people known as KCIPs who all work or volunteer in areas of community need within the local area. As a group, these KCIPs become the Community Prescription Network. During regular meetings they can network, support each other, signpost individuals to other network members with confidence and receive training and support in self care and other areas of interest as well as building an online resource called the Community Prescription Calendar which is a comprehensive list of self care opportunities within the local area.
The network enables the Health Facilitator to reach a wider proportion of the community. It also enables key community projects and organisations to work together and share good practice and therefore maximise results whilst giving the community the opportunity to maximise self care opportunities and therefore increase wellbeing.
