Description
SPICE (Social Prescribing for Improving Communities’ Eating Practices) explores the feasibility of embedding a brief, MAP-informed (Motivation–Action–Prompts model) healthy eating intervention within Aberdeen’s social prescribing service. Co-designed with Link Practitioners and informed by GP questionnaires, as well as interviews with community food providers and their service users, the intervention addresses food insecurity and poor diet through person-centred, non-judgmental conversations. This poster presents the co-design process and resulting intervention plan, showing how practitioner and community insights shaped practical tools to support small, achievable dietary changes. The next phase will test its feasibility in practice. By equipping Link Practitioners to integrate structured dietary support into routine appointments and strengthening connections with community food initiatives, SPICE highlights a clear pathway to impact: reducing dietary inequalities, reaching groups less responsive to conventional interventions, and informing scalable models of social prescribing for healthier eating support.
