Abstract:
This study aimed to understand experiences of social prescribers and those whose roles are closely linked to social prescribing in taking part in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), and cultural competency training programmes in the UK. Online survey responses from 40 participants were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Two main themes were identified: 1) Perceptions of EDI and Cultural Competency Training, and 2) EDI and Cultural Competency Beyond the Training. This paper provides recommendations and offers suggestions for professionals who work in social prescribing contexts regarding how to improve EDI and cultural competency training. In particular, co-production approaches with individuals from diverse backgrounds are highlighted to establish acceptable and effective social prescribing interventions.
