The Global Evidence Base is Unified Introducing the GSPA Literature Database The Global Social Prescribing Alliance (GSPA) is thrilled to announce the publication of the Global Social Prescribing Literature Database, a foundational resource designed to unify and strengthen the global evidence base for social prescribing. This database is a first step toward building a comprehensive directory of all social prescribing-related published literature, including clinical trials and their protocols, ensuring practitioners, policymakers, and researchers have access to the latest insights.What You Will Find Inside This compilation organizes key resources across five crucial categories:
- GSPA Documents: Our latest playbooks and strategic documents on workforce development, AI in health, and the student movement.
- Academic Rigor: A curated list of systematic reviews and comprehensive research papers covering evidence and impact.
- Policy & Implementation: Essential guides and program evaluations from organizations like The King’s Fund and NHS England, detailing success and fit within health policy.
- Specialty Areas: Resources focused on specific themes, including Arts on Prescription, Heritage, Physical Activity, and bibliotherapy.
- Books & Media: Significant media coverage and influential publications that have shaped the narrative of the social prescribing movement. By standardizing and centralizing this knowledge, we are advancing the case for universal social prescribing and demonstrating its proven efficacy in delivering preventative health outcomes.
Call to Action: These resources are free to use and share. We invite you to support the Global Social Prescribing Alliance movement and submit new evidence, case studies, or resources for inclusion via info@whis.world.
*All our resources are free - some links you will need to post into a search engine.
