What People Say

Great people, fantastic work with link workers, a platform to showcase some of the great practices and learning from across the country and allowed us connect across the country, we would have never been able to do that.
Dr. Jagan JohnNEL Clinical Commissioning Group; Personalised Care Clinical Director, NHS England (London); Healthy London Partnership
NALW is a strong champion of the work link workers do and they have an effective relationship with the health and care system, they are critical friends and stand on their own two feet and make a massive contribution
Charlotte AugstCEO, National Voices
A professional organisation for Link Workers is key to having a similar service available to all; irrespective of where they live in the country. Standards of care and wellbeing need to be recognised and appraised by the NHS/Government so that it is provided by Link Workers everywhere. Only by having NALW will this be achieved
Social Prescribing Link Worker
NALW have been brilliant in supporting our team, an opportunity for link workers to share their knowledge and experiences, look at the standards required, influencing policy and holding politicians to account for funding and ensuring link workers continues to be placed in the heart of communities and primary care.
Roseann LoganProgramme Manager (Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland)

They have gone above and beyond expectations including a big emphasis on networking, Supervision, peer group mentoring and allowing delegates to maximise their learning and development.”

Samera IsmaelSocial Prescribing Link Worker
Join up to the membership as its reasonably priced, the Social Prescribing Link Worker can learn at their pace and have access to supervision which is vital for this role
Dr Farzana Hussain2019 GP of the year winner, GP Partner
To have an independent professional organisation is key, Social Prescribing is non model specific and it is so important to have somewhere for all of us to go regardless of who we work for or how our service is provided, a platform for all of us to share, learn, network, develop and support each other.
Jackie ClaytonSocial Prescriber
I've suggested to Social Prescribing Link Worker colleagues who work for other organisations in the area to join the NALW because I've found the support and help has made a big difference
