North East & North Cumbria Regional Social Prescribing Network Event

This is a free event organised by TheNorth East Regional Social Prescribing Network and aims to deliver key learning for those involved in developing and delivering social prescribing. The event will be of particular interest to Primary Care Networks developing their social prescribing offer and local partners involved in planning & commissioning social prescribing.
