  "abstract": "Social prescribing (SP) connects patients to community organisations, activities and resources with the aim of improving their health and well-being. Social Prescribing Link Workers (SPLWs) use ‘what matters to you?’ conversations to co-produce personalised care plans with patients.1 While this model has been embedded in primary care settings in the UK, the role of SPLWs in emergency departments (EDs) is early in development. A pilot study2 and conceptual research3 has identified that SP in ED has potential to reach patients requiring support with a range of health, social and well-being needs, particularly those impacted by health inequalities. Yet, the current availability of SP in UK EDs is unknown. The aim of this work is to explore the current SP capacity in UK EDs.",
