The document provides several case studies that demonstrate the positive impact of social prescribing services. One case discusses a patient who was frequently sick and hospitalized, had low confidence, and felt useless. Through social prescribing referrals for advocacy, befriending, and volunteering, her quality of life improved dramatically - she has only been hospitalized twice since receiving support. Another case discusses a patient who received job coaching and support, and as a result secured full-time employment, saving on benefits costs and reducing strain on the health system. Overall, the cases illustrate how social prescribing can help turn patients' lives around by addressing their social needs and improving health, well-being, and independence.
