Social Prescribing: Prof. Chris Fox discusses the SPLENDID Project, non pharmacological therapies and importance of link workers
Professor Chris Fox, a psychiatrist and internationally recognised expert in ageing, dementia care, and health services research. He is Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the University of Exeter and co-leads the SPLENDID project—one of the UK’s largest studies exploring how social prescribing can support people living with dementia. With decades of experience translating research into real-world impact, Professor Fox’s work focuses on improving outcomes through inclusive, community-based care models.
Professor Fox discusses the groundbreaking SPLENDID Project, which is designed to improve social prescribing for dementia patients and their families. The project aims to create tailored, community-based care pathways that enhance engagement and outcomes for people with dementia. Learn about the feasibility trials, the project's focus on inclusivity, the involvement of link workers, and the potential for global adaptation.
