Routes to social prescribing outside National Health Service (NHS) structures: a systematic map
Our review provides further evidence for social prescribing as a concept, variable across all components, rather than a single, coherent model. While there exists a 'core' health service pathway, we suggest that further work should be done with those delivering services to understand the roles and functions that contribute but may not presently be funded.
