• A Student's Journey Through Social Prescribing Placements
    Jul 19 2023

    Join us in this episode of "A Student's Journey Through Social Prescribing Placements" as student nurses on a placement at Healthbox CIC share their transformative journey into the world of social prescribing. Despite initial reservations, they recount how these placements significantly reshaped their views on patient care. Hear their personal stories and testimonials from the patients they've helped, as they seek to dispel the myths surrounding social prescribing among their fellow students. Tune in as they highlight how broadening our perspective to include social prescribing can not only revolutionise healthcare but also weave it intricately with the fabric of our communities and breaking free from the traditional confines of medicine.
