Description
McMullen and ten co-authors explored social prescribing for Pakistani carers in this study from twenty twenty-four. Social prescribing connects people to community support instead of medicine alone. Pakistani carers in Britain face deeper isolation than white British carers, yet services rarely fit their culture. The team interviewed twenty-seven carers and ten stakeholders in London and Sheffield.
Carer identity itself proved complicated, tangled with family duty and stigma. Many carers had never heard of social prescribing. Stakeholders cited funding gaps and weak links between doctors and community groups. Both sides wanted culturally aware staff and education pitched to the community. Two carer advisers shaped the study throughout. The authors urge collaboration to close the gap.
