For social prescribing services
Extend the reach of social prescribing
Help more people find the right support, with self-service tools that complement your link workers.
Social prescribing helps people improve their health and wellbeing by connecting them with support in their communities. But not everyone needs a full social prescribing conversation. Sometimes, people simply need to know what's available and where to turn.
Step gives people a way to explore local and specialist support for themselves, using guided digital journeys that help them understand their options and find a way forward.
Working alongside your social prescribing team, Step can help you reach more people - while preserving link workers' time for those who need personal guidance.
Working alongside your team
Support more people, in more ways
01 / Self-service
Give people a way to help themselves
Some people are ready to take action if they can find the right information. Step helps them describe what they're looking for, discover relevant services and understand their next steps, without needing to wait for an appointment.
Available online, Step provides an additional route into community support - helping people who might not otherwise engage with social prescribing access useful information in their own time.
02 / Keep information current
Link workers build valuable knowledge of local services, but keeping directories, spreadsheets and signposting lists accurate takes time. It's also difficult for any individual team to know everything that's available.
Step combines a continually maintained network of over 80,000 support options with human quality control, helping people discover relevant local and specialist services. Your team can build on its local knowledge without having to maintain every piece of service information from scratch.
03 / Focus on people
Keep personalised support where it's needed most
Self-service isn't right for everyone. Some people have complex needs, face barriers to accessing support or benefit from the encouragement and relationship a link worker provides.
Step complements that work. People can explore options independently where appropriate, while link workers can use their expertise and time for more complex conversations, personalised support and facilitated referrals.
04 / Extend your reach
Reach beyond individual appointments
Make support easier to discover through your existing website, community channels or partner organisations. People can access information when they need it, rather than only when they meet a link worker.
For social prescribing services facing growing demand, Step offers a way to extend access to community support without requiring every person to go through the same process.
Your local knowledge
Step can bring together local service information and wider specialist support in a digital experience shaped around your community. It can sit alongside existing social prescribing pathways, giving residents another way to discover support while helping your team make better use of its local knowledge.
More people finding support. Less time maintaining information. Link workers free to focus on the people who need them most.
