In this episode of the HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast, host Noreen Turley speaks with Dr. Sean Owen, a GP and chair of the Climate Health Alliance of Ireland, and Dr. Aleisha Clarke, the HSE National Program Manager for Mental Health and Wellbeing. They discuss social prescribing, and how it aims to connect individuals with local community resources to meet their social, emotional, and practical needs. We hear how social prescribing can be successfully integrated into GP practice, where link workers have become an essential part of the healthcare team.
