Network Huddle: SPACE Pilot

SPACE CYP (Social Prescribing And Community rEsources for Children and Young People) Pilot is a partnership between Ways to Wellness, Great North Children’s Hospital and Newcastle University that supports children with chronic, complex conditions using a whole-family approach to their care.

It offers non-medical support to complement the work of clinicians at Great North Children’s Hospital, looking at all aspects of life affecting each individual family member, as well as the family unit as a whole.

Family members are supported to feel more confident in managing their health and wellbeing, looking at all aspects of life, including finances and work. Specialist social prescribing link workers focus on ‘what matters to you’, so action planning and goal setting is guided by the child and their family. Where appropriate, families are introduced to support and services in the community that help them achieve their goals.

This event will hear from a range of speakers who will discuss the impact of the programme so far as well as its influence on practice both in and outside the region.
