Project Management Tools

In order to navigate the social prescribing referral pathway to a successful project completion, it is crucial to apply some basic project management approaches to support the project manager (or lead for the project) and the supporting project team:

• Governance Structure – to outline reporting throughout the project lifespan
• Project Logs – to include; risk and issue log, key decisions, action log and a daily log to record activity.
• Work Breakdown Structure – to help visualise the packages of work required to complete the project. It may also be helpful to start to identify who within the project team will be the point of contact/lead for the work package.
• Process Maps – to facilitate the design of the new social prescribing referral pathway, this will aid with Information Governance arrangements.
