Calls for Evidence and Conference papers
Call for evidence - Migrant Health Guidance
Public Health England, in collaboration with University College London and the International Organisation for Migration, is undertaking an evidence review to inform their Migrant Health guidance and policy directions.
The review will aim to address two main questions:
1. What social prescribing approaches have been evaluated for international migrants in the United Kingdom?
2. How have social prescribing approaches enabled primary healthcare, voluntary and community sector specialists to refer migrants to local and non-clinical services?
PHE are interested in to know about social prescribing services providing food security, legal advice, financial advice, housing support, employment assistance and language services to address the upstream social determinants of health and wellbeing. They are also interested in how services have mobilised during these times of social upheaval instigated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Submissions should be sent to migrationhealth@phe.gov.uk by Friday 30 October 2020 at 5:30pm using the pre-specified criteria / formats. Details of this are available here https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/social-prescribing-approaches-for-migrants-call-for-evidence.
