AMSA INITIATIVE GROUPS 38 SOCIAL PRESCRIBING WORKING GROUPS 2023 Achievements Summary 1. We ran two SPSC webinars, providing students to discuss social prescribing with experts and learn about its application in a case study, and learn about social prescribing around the world. 2. We ran a workshop about social prescribing at AMSA Global Health Intensive with experts from around Australia to teach students about social prescribing and its application through mentor-led case discussion. We also collaborated with AMSA Med Ed to create an OSCE station for their clinical years OSCE to demonstrate how social prescribing can be woven into a mental health consultation. 3. We spearheaded social prescribing advocacy, with the inclusion of social prescribing in three AMSA policies: Refugee & Asylum Seeker Health, Mental Health Support Structures and Health Promotion & Protection. 4. We worked with local and international academic leaders in social prescribing, including the Australian Social Prescribing Institute for Research & Education (ASPIRE). We sent a delegate to the 2023 Environment, Activity, Connection & Health (EACH) Conference - the first social prescribing academic conference in Australia. At this conference, the 2021 AMSA Social Prescribing policy was cited and discussed by academics as an example of national policy making led by students - meaning that AMSA is a leader in the Australian social prescribing space. We are also working with ASPIRE and other social prescribing leaders to create more opportunities for student involvement and education. 5. We were consulted by representatives of the Queensland state government as part of their implementation of the findings of the Parliamentary Inquiry into Social isolation and loneliness, to discuss implementation of social prescribing and student perspectives. We were also consulted by researchers from Connect Local/Bolton Clarke to provide feedback on a program they are creating to increase awareness of social isolation.
