Background
Social prescribing is often described as an intervention that can help reduce health inequalities yet there is little evidence exploring this. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of accessing and analysing social prescribing (SP) service user data to demonstrate the impact of SP on health inequalities.

Methods
The sample size consisted of records for 276 individuals in Site 1 and 1644 in Site 2. Descriptive analyses were performed to assess the characteristics of people accessing SP, the consistency of data collected and the missingness across both sites.

Results
Both sites collected basic demographic data (age gender, ethnicity and deprivation). However, data collection was inconsistent; issues included poor recording of ethnicity in Site 2, and for both sites, referral source data and health and well-being outcome measures were missing. There was limited data on the wider determinants of health. These data gaps mean that impacts on health inequalities could not be fully explored.

Conclusions
It is essential that SP data collection includes information on user demographics and the wider determinants of health in line with PROGRESS Plus factors. Considering equity around who is accessing SP, how they access it and the outcomes is essential to evidencing how SP affects health inequalities and ensuring equitable service delivery.
